Evening Glow on Collins

“My work is rooted in a deep connection to landscape, shaped by a love for movement, adventure, and open space. As a paraglider pilot, kite surfer, and adventure bike rider, I experience the world not just from the ground, but from shifting perspectives—above coastlines, across vast plains, and through remote terrains. These journeys inform my paintings, where land, ocean, and sky flow into one continuous rhythm.

I am drawn to expansive environments—mountains, rugged coastlines, and wide Australian fields—where light becomes the central storyteller. The play of sunlight over water and land, especially during fleeting moments of sunrise or sunset, is a recurring theme. Warm yellows and glowing oranges contrast with cooler blues and greens, capturing both stillness and movement, as if time pauses for a brief moment.

Through my work, I seek to translate not just what I see, but what I feel in those moments—freedom, scale, and a quiet sense of belonging. The compositions often carry an aerial sensibility, reflecting the experience of flight and the intimacy of observing vast spaces from above
