Artist Interview

What medium do you work with, and why have you chosen them?

Oil and acrylic. I work mainly with oil as I love how it blends so well which is perfect for my botanicals, the richness of colour and gloss and the detail I can achieve. I enjoy working with acrylics and tend to work in a more painterly fashion particularly when creating textured vessels.

How does your artwork get from initial concept to exhibition stage?

As a still life artist I use photos as a reference point, gathering from several images to create a unique artwork. Although using the shapes from a reference photo I will often mix a completely different colour palette, something that may not exist in nature but creates a powerful impact.

Can you tell us a little more about your creative working environment/studio?

I work from my home studio where I have a room to paint in and a large gallery style hanging area. Both overlook a beautiful planted courtyard. Our house backs onto natural bushland, so I am surrounded by lush greenery at all times.
