Each painting a piece of poetry, together a narrative. A window into the detours within, where all roads lead home. No matter how far they wander.

These roads form...

Sketch One Rhino

Sketch One Rhino

A charging Rhino. The rhino is an animal that can charge and run fast! This is a sketch that I tried to represent this magnificent creature at its best. I also paint this animal for people to be aware that they are being poached indiscriminately and need protection.

The five 3.5 metre high cast aluminium pen nibs are dedicated to the planners who designed the Stirling Gardens (Western Australia's first Botanical Garden). It also honours those who wrote the recorded history of the gardens. These colours look beautiful at night as they light up a brilliant blue which I have tried depict through my painting.
