Painter/pastels
With landscape I am particularly inspired by the effects of weather and time of day; and the subsequent light, colours and atmosphere. Sky, reflections, surface textures and shadows are often a particular focus.
Working predominantly in oils, although watercolours are of great use when travelling, I prefer to paint on site, trying to record and share my visual awareness of places of beauty and interest within the Yarra Valley and beyond.
Another aspect of my work involves equestrian pastel sketches from direct observation where I try to immediately and quickly capture a sense of the movement, power and grace of individual dressage horses and riders.
