The Heartland series has been born out of hundreds of photos I have taken while flying over Australia, in particular - central Australia and the countless salt lakes that dot the interior.

While painting works that were intensive in concentration and patience, these works allowed me the freedom to explore and find renewed energy.

The works will form a central part of the Visceral Exhibition to take place at the ARO Gallery in Sydney in 2017.

"Visceral combines a wide range of works that have been born out of my rediscovered love for creating. The works are based on images that have been calling out to be created for a very long time, in a time of significant personal change in my own life... images that are forefront in the my mind and close to my heart."
