Here is a statement by the artist:

“Inspiration comes from experiencing a diverse range of environments, and an interest around how people interact with these places.

I was born in Launceston in Northern Tasmania and began art school there in 1982. My early art school paintings featured landscape subjects and were painted on site amongst the variety of environments that are within easy access to Launceston.

Working outdoors sets up a range of challenges, which are still the cornerstone to my art practise. I bring to each of these works some of the experiences of working outdoors such as changing weather conditions, variations in light, interference of outside elements, interpretation of scale, and often, personal discomfort.
