As an artist, I'm constantly drawn to the mesmerising beauty of water ripples. There's something magical about the intricate patterns and shapes that water creates, and I've made this a focus in my recent work.
Water ripples are the perfect subject for an artist, offering an endless array of shapes and forms to explore. With each body of water having its own unique characteristics, such as the size and shape of the water, the intensity and direction of the wind, and the presence of any objects in the water, water ripples can take on a countless number of forms. In still water, the ripples often appear as elegant concentric circles that radiate outwards from a central point. These circles can become distorted or elongated if there's a rock or other object creating a disturbance in the water. In rough water, such as in the ocean, the ripples can become more unpredictable, forming wild peaks and troughs that crash against each other. The interplay of light and water ripples creates stunning visual effects. As the ripples move, they reflect and refract light, creating a dynamic dance of colours and textures. Depending on the angle of the light source and the viewer, the ripples can appear to shimmer, sparkle, or even glow. As an artist, capturing the unique patterns and shapes of water ripples can be both challenging and rewarding. I'm happy to share my latest work but I'm far from done exploring this subject. So stay tuned for more pieces to come!

I'm super excited to launch my new geometric print collection (just in time for Mother's Day.) A stack of gorgeous new designs from cute little 10x8in and A4 paper prints to big 24x36in ready to hang canvas art. Fun and affordable prints to brighten up any space inspired by playful op art and patchwork patterns.
There is also free shipping on all prints for Australian, US and European customers! Six bold new paintings have been released as part of my continued outback desert aerial landscape body of work. The Australian outback is a rich tapestry of changing colours and patterns. Tiny dots of vegetation, wild flowers and shrubs, come and go or alter in shade with the seasons.

With the Olympics starting in Japan it seems somehow fitting that my new additions to the Variegated collection ended up working so beautifully with Japandi decor style currently becoming very popular around the globe. ![]() Several paintings have been released as part of my Variegated collection looking at organic patterns found at the microscopic level in leaves. Using a soft white wax over board allows for the beautiful natural wood grain to show through. Finished on top with white detail and a scattering of cut paper in a mix of metallics and neutral tones. The calm, muted colours, focus on natural materials and organic shapes creates a Japandi style aesthetic. Japandi being a hybrid of Japanese and Scandinavian design, zen meets hygge if you like. At the heart of these works is the idea of embracing simplicity and celebrating the beauty of imperfections in nature, a core belief of wabi-sabi. You can view the whole set of new works currently under 'latest collection'
A happy, bright and bubbly start to the year with my first collection for 2021 - Beach Bubbles. Lots of lovely colourful works inspired by the beach and waves, the ocean and sand. Deep blues, soft pinks and some beautiful pops of turquoise.
As 2020 comes to an end I took a look back at some of my favourite works from the year and gave them a kaleidoscopic twist for a brand new print collection.
There are seven new mandala art limited edition prints to choose from ranging from a little 8x8inch piece all the way up to 100x100cm. There are also now options for canvas printing and framing. Kaleidoscopic forms have been part of my art practice for many years now. The fine veil of dots that I see as part of my neuro-ophthalmologcal condition appear as a kaleidoscope of constantly moving pattern. I've always been drawn to mandala type images and symmetrical patterns. Celebrating summer with a brand new collection of limited edition prints - kaleidoscopic twists on some of my favourite paintings from this year. Apart from a few sizes options and either paper or stretched canvas, the artworks are also available on beautiful lightweight summer scarves.
Lovely and soft, made in Australia and a big 140x140cm! A great Christmas gift idea.
I've been continuing to create abstract landscapes pieces suggestive of fields seen from the air, or topographical maps, using the language of lines and dashes I've been building up in my work. Four new paintings have been recently released in this body of work. Unyielding I and II, shown above, have sold but please contact me if you would like to discuss a commission.
This new collection is inspired by outback desert landscapes seen from the air, the scattering of vegetation is a combination of paint and embroidery.
