I am an artist of the landscape of common objects. Discarded items and suburban life fuel my art practice.

Holiday Drawings

It shouldn’t surprise me, but being ‘on holiday’ suddenly frees up time to paint and draw; when it is equally possible to do the same thing in everyday life.

Here are some images from early this month when we took a visiting relative to the coast and around Canberra and drawing became an everyday activity!

The cliff at Depot Beach, those drooping casuarinas are really hard to capture.
