For me, painting landscapes is a creative way to express emotion, capture the spiritual aspect of nature I feel within and explore self.
I’ve always had a strong connection to nature, be it with the ever changing ocean or exploring the mountains where I grew up – curious about the shapes, angles and colours Mother Nature has to share with us.
I capture the beauty I encounter on my excursions, absorb the energy from mountains, gasp at the colours, the wildness and the power of the natural world I stand within at that moment. These are the times when I feel all my senses are at their peak.
I paint not only what I see in those moments, but I’m inspired by what and how I feel within. I become the mountains, the sky, the clouds, the movement in the water and the grass. All these elements are so different, but connected to form a landscape of which we are part.
My p
My painting tools include pallet knifes, which I favour for the way they apply paint to canvas, creating textures and a raw imperfection which feels natural and real in connecting with nature. I also paint with my fingers, particularly in the clouds, feeling within them. Clouds have a sense of freedom and movement, which I feel is expressed better with my hands and fingers in the paint. The dot detail is drawn from my inspiration of Aboriginal art and how we as people are connected to the land, we are all part of our beautiful earth, we are one.
