Hysteria




Hysteria is a feature piece on show at Soto Restaurant, 517 Malvern Rd, Toorak. At 150cm x 100cm it brings alot of attention and boldly jumps off the wall. Using a gloss black swirl containing the loud acrylics it controls and keeps the piece with a good balance. $1200... Sorry the shot is a little out of focus. The next pic shows more detail... SOLD

Candy



154cm x57cm this long colourful piece looks great in a hall way or above the couch. With a black acrylic background and gloss enamel stripes I was using a dripping technique. Pleased with the result it sold in no time. (SOLD)

Electric Tiles



Electric tiles is now in a black bow frame which just pops the colour out of the pastels. I used a gel medium with acrylic and a spatula to give it a sense of weight and depth. At 91cm x 61cm it doesn't need a big wall but certainly opens it up the room. $800

In Focus



122cm x 91cm this piece is now mounted in a box frame and hanging in Soto. The fluffing technique goes in contrast to the sharp window of colour. Having a time period to get this done I needed to do this long stint so it was still wet enabling me to stretch and move the colour.$1000

Music



One of my first paintings it was the hardest to let go. At 140cm x 60cm it's hanging in someones hallway. It looks like I was almost in a hurry but totally enjoyed it. Enamel and acrylics. (SOLD)

Yarn



Yarn seems to be a bit of a talking piece when hung and I can see why. It's 90cm x 90cm with no need for framing as I think some paintings don't need to be contained. She speaks for herself. A few artist friends convinced me to do a series of different shades of certain colours. In enamel there's this original then the blue, grey and green, which unfortunately I can't find the photo of. Together they look amazing and even alone they're complexity keeps u staring. Hanging in Soto Restaurant, 517 Malvern Rd, Toorak, they are definitely worth a viewing. $700 ea (SOLD)

Yarn in blue



90cm x 90cm... $700 (SOLD)

Yarn in grey



90cm x90cm... $700... SOLD

Mosaic



This bright little number is now in a white box frame and in the window of a store called "Do Re Me". 27 Horne St in Elsternwick. At 90cm x 60cm it's a bit smaller than I'm used to working with but because of the masking technique and drying time it took weeks. I love the way it jumps out at you and almost is a vision of light. When I look at it I think holiday beach house...SOLD

Vision

This piece is quite big and would be great on a large wall. Since this photo I have mounted it in a white box frame and pleased with the rolls of colour forming an eye. The oils have left it with a gloss finish making primaries pop even more. At 150cm x 120cm making a bold eye catching statement in a spacious room. $1200... Currently hanging in SOTO restaurant 517 Malvern Rd, Hawksburn Village. (Toorak)

Kaleidoscope



I was in the mood to do something loose and free flowing. Normally I'm pretty structured and know where I'm going with a piece so it was nice to let go and play round with the oils for a bit. See where it would go. This technique is called fluffing giving the blurry effect. It's 90cm x 90cm, I have now set it in a box frame and hanging in a house in Elwood. For $550 I can do something completely different sticking to the bright and blur concept. (SOLD)

Sara of Warhol

This was a birthday present I did for a girlfriend of mine. Took forever to do but I really enjoyed it. Was pleased with the final result and keen to do another. If u have a photo of someone u would like me to Warhol I would be more than happy to... $ 400
