This was done specifically for my father. He has always loved sailing, so when he asked if I would paint something for him, I was more than glad too. I have always been a fan of the era of pirates and great battle ships, the assurance of discovery and adventure. To me this is the morning before one would set sail, sky's full of promise.

Macro Face - Chalk Pastel on Ink Wash

Macro Face - 26x54 Chalk Pastel on Ink Wash

Hand Drawn Original

SOLD

As part of a portfolio I went into exploring the idea of creating art that confronts its viewer. I wanted to have explicit control over the feelings which would be evoked. The shear size of the piece made it very intimidating. This is a self portrait as well, facing myself like this was a very *ahem* eye opening experience (excuse the pun).  I felt very tired of the idea that the viewer is passive and uninvolved in most art they see, this was my own way of rebellion toward art pacifists.

The Bronze Age - Acrylic on Canvas

The Bronze Age -  16x20 Acrylic on Canvas

Hand Painted Original

SOLD

(same painting is shown twice due to metallic shine) 

The feelings behind this painting were rather bleak and dark, much how I image those as the turn of the last millennium felt. Not hopeless but hardened and battle worn.

Blue Music - Acrylic on Canvas

SOLD

This painting was inspired by the slow melodic jazz pieces that we listen to when feeling particularly melancholy.

Diversity I - Acrylic on Canvas

Diversity I - 18x24 Acrylic on Canvas

Hand Painted Original

SOLD

The idea behind this painting was how often we try to compartmentalize and separate ourselves and other people around us, but no matter how hard we try to do so, we just bleed into each other anyways, and the fact is when we allow all colours, ideas and forms to mix, the result can be beautiful.

Diversity II - Acrylic on Canvas

Diversity II - 24x48 Acrylic on Canvas

Hand Painted Original

SOLD

This painting was about creating harmony between the fluid transition of colour and the balance and composition found in the placement of the lines. It is a continuation of the ideas developed in Diversity I.

Going Dotty - Acrylic on Canvas

Going Dotty - 24x36 Acrylic on Canvas

This was a particularily fun project. The idea behind it was a bunch of little asteriods floating through space. That is, if nebulas were bright and multicolored.

Birth of Colour I and II - Acrylic on Canvas

Birth of Colour I and II - 24x36 12x36 Acrylic on Canvas
Hand Painted Original

SOLD

I had the strangest feeling the other day as I was washing my pallets. The water coming out of the tap was clear while just after it hit the pallet it was suddenly changed into a vibrant colourful rainbow. It made me excited to think about how we all start out crystal clear water, and its after smashing into out various experiences that we can become bright bold colours. Each persons colour is determined the experiences they allow to effect them.  

Tree of Infinity II - Acrylic on Canvas

Tree of Infinity II - 3 x 12x20 Acrylic on Canvas

Hand Painted Original

SOLD

This is a continuation of the idea explored in the tree of infinity, however this was focused not on myself, but on a friend of mine, as her life is coming to a close, I think of how while I just want to grow up in order to find fulfillment in myself, she has always always been growing out, trying to touch as many other people as she could with her kindness and gentle spirit.

Tree of Infinity - Acrylic on Canvas

Tree of Infinity - 3 x 18x24 Acrylic on Canvas

Hand Painted Original

SOLD

Painting this was really an exploration of me and my place in the world. I was really questioning what I was going to do in this world which is so large and beautiful. What effect could I possibly have on the universe which is great and vast, when I am so finite and small? All it took was to remember that all things start off finite and small. I felt I should remember no matter how long I might have on the earth I have to keep growing all my life, stretching my branches infinitely as far as they can reach in all directions. and while I might never be as great as the universe, its still possible to become my own unique beautiful little part of it.

Recently I was reading a number of books on how the artistic and scientific worlds collide and this inspired me to explore my passion for both.  For these two paintings I really wanted to express how I feel in finding liner or geometric shapes in nature. How all things that are and feel natural also have the physics and the science of the world behind them. That the stark and simplistic can still feel organic.
