About me.

I am an Australian artist currently based in Sheffield, UK. 

Still life is the primary focus of my work as I love the control over composition and attention to detail afforded by this type of painting. The relationship between specific objects is of particular interest to me, especially when elements that seem incongruous can be made to complement each other in surprising ways.

Literature, natural history, archaeology and anthropology are common subjects explored through my work.

You can browse the archives of my work from 2010-2017 and 2018-2021 or visit my shop to purchase smaller works and studies directly from my studio. If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
