“Colour and movement fascinate me.  Hamilton Island is a favourite yachting destination so sailboats with colourful spinnakers and graceful movement fill my vision.

And I interpret the quiet underworld of tropical reefs as a dreamscape of colours and shapes.

The beauty of nature is ever inspiring - tropical seas and skies also become a jumping off point for my abstract expressionist paintings.
