At present I am inspired by the rich, striking colours such as orange, ochre, reds and browns found in the outback of Australia. Being an environmental artist I gain a wealth of information found in nature. I credit the strong interest in my work to the beauty I emulate in our natural environment. I ask that if you see beauty in my work, please pause, give thanks to our environment.
