Event: 'Street' Exhibition

For this street themed exhibition I produced a series of narrow architectural studies capturing exciting qualities of light in Brighton's Lanes all of which were less than a couple hundred metres from the gallery.
Event: Southern Plein Air Art Exhibition
Dates: 22 Apr 2024 - 28 Apr 2024
This show gave me the opportunity to exhibit with close friends who I paint with as part of Southern Plein Air. I was very excited about this show as it was a pleasure to share walls with gifted painters and we ran the show successfully ourselves. We did live painting outside the gallery on the seafront and I was grateful to sell several paintings. We'll be hiring the space again at the start of October.

The RBA's Annual Exhibition is a collection of the UK's finest figurative art, ranging from paintings and drawings to sculptures. I exhibited one piece (2021), 'Daffodils in Midday Light' which sold on the second day. It was a fantastic show and I can't wait for next year!
Biography
I am an artist based in St Kilda, Melbourne, working in oil paint to explore city scenes, seascapes, and floral still life. My practice is rooted in a fascination with the familiar undergoing a transformation through the play of light and colour.
Coming from a background in architecture, I developed an artistic understanding for design principles and precision drawing. I love the tension that forms when controlled structure meets expressive, even chaotic, gesture. This push and pull between accuracy and spontaneity gives my paintings their energy - the balance between order and freedom.
Oil paint allows me to shift fluidly between delicate, wash-like transparency and rich, sculptural impasto. Its malleability keeps the work alive throughout the painting session, whether I’m working en plein air or building colour and texture in the studio.
A year of travel through vibrant and luminous places has deepened my relationship with colour; Australia’s heat and light continue to drive me toward bold, elevated palettes. By amplifying colour, sometimes beyond realism and toward abstraction, I aim to express not just what I see, but how the environment feels to be in.
I have been fortunate to experience a renewed connection to beauty in the familiar through the work of a great number of talented and inspiring artists. I aspire for the audience of my artwork to encounter that same shift in perception so they may unlock a new appreciation for the everyday.
Thank you for reading!
