‘The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes’ - Marcel Proust

Living by the sea is so inspiring I am compelled to paint it. 

I have spent many happy days in and around beautiful Pittwater. Swimming in her, boating on her, camping by her, renovating a small shack on the edge of her and painting her! Always changing, yet at the same time always familiar. Pittwater is my inspiration, my home. It’s where I love to live and where I love to capture the feeling of the landscape, the ever changing light and movement in the sea and sky, through my paintings on salvaged wood. 

I enjoy sitting in the landscape as I paint it ... on a rock beside the sea, under a tree in the bush, on the sand at the beach, holding a brush in my hand and mixing the colours on a palette with sea and rain water. I also use the many photographs I have taken and sketches as inspiration for my work.

I create these paintings to capture lasting memories and connect us with nature.

Hope you enjoy my little scapes!
