“For me art is about ideas, it is a contemplative process. The paintings in this exhibition are the result of immersion and contemplation in diverse landspaces as well as research into cultural interpretations of the ancient phiosophy of the Five Elements: earth, water, fire, air and space, especially through Indian and Tibetan traditions of Buddhism. By bringing another perspective to the elements, I hope to evoke a deep respect for our natural environment.” 

This series of work connects with my current lived environment:
a narrow coastal strip at the edge of the Royal National Park, nestled under the Illawarra Escarpment. My home and studio adjoin remains of subtropical rainforest and a short walk to the ocean.
