This body of work is my response to Australia’s desert areas, its space, the pulsating heat, the changing light, and my absorption in this landscape.

My aim has been to capture its lyrical quality with colourful and playful marks, showing its many moods with constantly changing light and shadows making it alive and full of movement.

In choosing Perspex to paint on I feel its luminosity suits the desert landscape giving a feeling of space and light. It also lends itself to quick gestural marks, which suggest our brief imprint on this landscape and the mirage like shimmer of heat in the desert. The small scale works are a fragment of what is seen and felt.
