Visual Art – Sydney

I have spent my life painting, drawing and creating . ​ However, at university and in my early employment, I pursued an International Business degree and went on to work for various different financial corporations. Taking up a business career whilst deeply longing to pick up a paint brush for me, is like the relationship between oil and water. Even if you keep trying to stir the two together, nothing will mix. I knew I could no longer live without doing the thing i love - which is painting! And naturally, I now live and work as a full time artist in Sydney. My training has been mostly self taught. However, during college I was lucky enough to celebrate the following artistic achievements: obtaining an Art Scholarship (2007-2013); 1st place - in the ISA Midlands Art Competition (2013); displayed work at the Warwickshire Open Studio Art Event (2013) and 2nd place in the Midlands ISA Art Competition (2012). My work often depicts portraiture, figures and nudes. My current art is delving into to separate series of work looking at "Contentment". As such, I explore peoples most vulnerable and open moments. Representing themes such as peace, loneliness, solitude, confusion, love, self acceptance and trust.
