After completing my Masters of Architecture at the University of Queensland, I worked as a lead designer with UAP in public art for 5 years. I now works as a full- time artist in my home studio in Brisbane.
The subject matter of my works is quite ordinary, such as a glass of water on a striped shirt, or a bedside table with old coffee cups, but the most important feature is always the direct natural light that washes over them.
I am interested in how the lighting can transform an otherwise plain object. Particularly glass objects which literally glow and refract light in unexpected ways and the deep exaggerated shadows that are created.
As natural lighting is so fluid and ever-changing, my works become about capturing an exact moment in time.
