Thank you for the captivating conversations and warm support through the lead up and over the duration of 'Gradient' in August (where did September go?) 

It seems the quiet expanses of mountain landscapes hold a fascination for so many, no matter the season.

Wintry hues of blue and grey have given way to greens, in this very wet Australian Spring which has seen record dam levels, brimming waterways - and tragically - flooding, in many parts. Observing gushing creeks and overflowing weirs, water everywhere has left its mark.  

Aptly, watercolour is an enchanting medium to work in. By allowing the pigment to go with the flow and wander its way across the page, it mimics the natural process of water sculpting and creating landforms ripe for landscaping into a place of nostalgia, or dreams.

Continuing with the green theme and revisiting favourite places in the Central West, Southern Tablelands, the Monaro and Riverina, I'm delving into olives, greys and copper to represent the shadows and highlights in the vast and fertile valleys where my heart and heritage lies. Working towards new bodies of work for country exhibitions next year, fresh greens, earthy tones and agricultural patterns will be cropping up... 

This Spring is a rich season for art shows and exhibitions. I have pieces entered in some group shows in lovely galleries and local fundraisers across Sydney and Melbourne in October and November - details can be found here. 

If you missed visiting 'Gradient' in person, there are some works still available via the Saint Cloche online stockroom.

I'd be happy to answer questions about these works or arrange a viewing for you.

Thank you again for your continued interest in my art.
