Profile
I have always been interested in art…but photography was an expensive dream. I had fun studying ceramics and painting at uni but I got busy chasing the almighty dollar to support myself and my family and I moved a few times around North Queensland too. Art took a back seat – it was too easy to make excuses not to do the messy fun stuff – ‘playing’ with clay and paint, no time and no room for mess etc but it was really frustrating with no artistic outlet. Life changes, kids went, so hello digital photography!
It’s been 3 years now. Some photos were in a joint exhibition “Out the Back” at Pinnacles Gallery, Thuringowa. And they’re all in the gallery’s collection. Yahoo – apparently it’s a big thing but really I cheer for achieving my goal of having an exhibition within 2 years. Internet is next…Redbubble – you’re it. The quality and diversity of the work is supreme – congrats to all the Redbubblers – you rock!
My work is experimental – I’ll try anything more than once, snap what I like and themes evolve from that. My partner says I focus a lot on dead things, apparently I find them everywhere – at least they don’t bite or run away. Then I looked through my files, yep he was right, lots of dead things. But I do live things too…so I’ll post them first. My Mother’s Secret Garden – said she had no garden but I found it. The Scavenger Hunt – twists on selected letters of the alphabet. Seascapes, landscapes or the small things within. And impressionism – using the camera to capture light and movement to convey the feeling rather than the detail of the subject, a bit like painting.
