Self-portrait, Acrylic on Canvas, 45x62cm, 2005
I am a young, emerging, contemporary artist who lives in Cairns, Australia. I have completed a Diploma of Visual Arts and currently studying a Bachelor of Creative Industries at James Cook University.
My preferred medium is acrylics however I sometimes dabble in pastels, pen and wash (gouache) and prints. My painting style is bold and colourful with decorative/high-kitsch like or semi-realistic characteristics. My concepts are not within a particular theme, however I do favour painting nature, landscapes, animals and still lifes.
Currently my goal is to continue expanding on my skills and knowledge in painting to produce a body of work within the next couple of years.
