In 2022 I produced some paintings with an autumnal colour palette of reds and browns. They are driven by imagination more than reference to real landscapes, and explore colour harmonies, with some figurative elements introduced to suggest a sense of narrative.

Some 2021 works explored the Australian bush as a human habitat. They are fragmentary and fleeting, with a emphasis on surface, like moving through the bush at speed.

In Charcoal, I wanted to explore the destructive power of bushfire, and whether there may be some strange and brutal beauty in this aspect of the Australian bush.

In Grand Ridge Road, I returned to a place I had first visited in Gippsland at the age of ten with my first camera. I have never forgotten those landscapes.

In Velocity, I showed a series of paintings based on moving lights at night. They were painted in layers, with intervening layers of varnish, in order to achieve a sense of translucency.
