Exhibitions
The Looking Glass
Solo Exhibition | 29 July - 23 August 2019

This watercolour exhibition captures the essence of what we see through the looking glass: The simplicity of Landscapes and everyday spaces communicated through light, shadow, colour and contrasts.

Light and Shadows
Solo Exhibition | 27 August - 27 September 2018
Tresillian Arts Centre
My series of shed/Interior paintings are inspired by an interest in the everyday and how these personal spaces evoke stillness and a place of quiet contemplation. These places are full of dark corners with unknown boxes and disused items that present interesting shapes, textures and tones for the artistic eye. The exhibition also featured a selection of paintings of France and The Perth Swan River.

In September 2017, a group of enthusiastic Perth-based watercolour painting and photographic artists undertook an immersive art tour of France, walking in the footsteps of, and being inspired by the great French artists and the vibe of modern-day France.
