MIXED MEDIA ARTIST AND PHOTOGRAPHER

In my art I am exploring a connection to place and the environment and my interpretation of weathering, erosion and disintegration. My work is a contemplation of the physical weathering in the environment - abstract representations of a landscape I engage with and a reflection on the passage of time and fragility.

My artwork can be viewed and purchased at Huskisson Framing and Gallery, Owen Street Huskisson, NSW and Shoalhaven Regional Gallery, Nowra, NSW or contact me via the contact page.
