A Gentle Reminder
oil on canvas
100 x 80cm

A reminder that a sense of peace is best attained when one's heart and head are connected. Be gentle with yourself and it will be easier to be.

Insight
oil on canvas
102 x 76cm

The beginning of an idea, that initial insight that grows from within, when you feel caught between a rock and a hard place and need to change.

Creative Thought
oil on canvas
102 x 76cm

The evolution of an idea from concept to reality. The thought becomes concrete.

Resolution
oil on canvas
91 x 76cm

The resolution is reached and creates a sense of calm and contemplation. Like our binary system, all is black and white when the truth is known.

Clearing the Mind
oil on canvas
102 x 76cm

The shadow reaches into your inner self and takes the time to clear away the built up debris that accumulates and blocks one from seeing beyond the restraints we impose on ourselves.

Bigger fish to fry
oil on canvas
122 x 91cm

Overcoming disappointment when an opportunity you had your heart set on slips away. Accepting what you do have and patience is required.

SOLD

The Condemned Man
oil on canvas
102 x 76cm

A strong image that describes the feeling of having no voice, when all power to choose or express one's personal stance has been taken away.

The Four Elements of the Domestic
oil on canvas
100 x 80cm

A glimpse into the home where the elements of water, wind, earth and fire are still found. The shower drains away into the vegie garden and the boy plays with his errant kite.

BirdBoy
oil on canvas
100 x 80cm

A boy is immersed in the forest of his dreams where he connects with his soul in the form of a bird. He gently kisses the bird and is transformed.

In Two Minds
oil on canvas
100 x 76cm

A moment in time when you need to consider the alternatives.

A Glass Half Full
oil on canvas
140 x 120cm

This explores the concept and process of positive thinking. Heart is connected to the head by a red line, the inner child reminds him to think of the glass as half full. His thought blossoms from a seed to a joyous tree that dances in the mind's landscape.

Between the Lines
oil on canvas
100 x 76cm

The bird has become one with the mind or head and watches resolutely, determined to find the truth for herself and the world outside.

Bruised Ego
oil on canvas
100 x 76cm

A moment of vulnerability and recognition of self. The solid, simplified yellow head suggests strength against a background of fragmented thoughts. The split lip represents words spoken that come back to bite you.

Listening to the Earth
oil on canvas
80 x 100cm

Being in tune with the earth, a man lies sleeping whilst he is watched over.

The Triumphant Gardener
oil on canvas
120 x 100cm

This painting is about harvest, effort come to fruition. Ideas, from hopes, planted like seeds have sprouted. The bars have been transformed into green tree trunks.

Across the Divide
oil on canvas
102 x 102cm

Conversation conflicted and scrambled, communication thwarted by the static of misheard meanings. Yet we all come from the same source, the same cosmic soup.
