NORTHERN BEACHES
I met Cindy & Matt at the Affordable Art Fair Sydney. Their acquisition of 'Lady Starlight' was significant for both them and me. The first piece I painted after the birth of my second son, 'Lady Starlight' was exhibited at HOTA for the Gold Coast Triennial before finding its way to Cindy & Matt's Northern Beaches home in Sydney where it marked the purchase of their new home and start of the next chapter of their life together.

About the work:
I'm inspired by the emotions and changes in the world around me, and paint my world as I see it, resulting in dreamscapes, gardens and miniature universes. Lady Starlight is a celebration of and a tribute to my wife, painted three days post the birth of our second son. After witnessing the power and resilience of the human spirit, I painted this piece depicting a transcendental movement of light and shape - pure emotion, the trials the triumphs the tribulations – our world had just got a whole lot brighter.
