There is always a story to tell; all we have to do is sit and listen, look, and we will connect with that story.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been driven by a passion to create horses that seem to leap off the canvas and greet you. Art has been a quiet companion throughout my life—a cherished dream that persisted even through years of uncertainty and unexpected twists. My inspiration springs from a deep love for horses, fostered during my childhood in the Australian bush, and my appreciation for landscapes was shaped by my years in PNG in the ’70s, as well as countless days spent riding and working with animals across Australia.

With bold colours and rich textures, I strive to capture the essence and spirit of these noble animals. Each painting seeks to express the profound bond between horse and rider, highlighting the emotional connection they share. Being able to share this passion with others is a realised dream, and I am thankful for every detour that brought me here.

There’s something enchanting about how a horse can embody the untamed spirit of the bush, or reflect the soft light from a sunrise or sunset over a billabong or the ocean—the way the play of light on trees and country seems to merge with the animal itself. Through my art, I hope each piece evokes the freedom and adventure I experienced as a child, racing across wide paddocks or winding through bush trails. When you view my work, I invite you to sense the gentle heat of the late arvo sun, the hint of eucalyptus in the air, and the vibrant energy that horses bring into our lives and stories. Working in various mediums to create my abstract artworks has reminded me of my own travels—sometimes smooth, sometimes rough—so in my abstract pieces, I pour in plenty of colour and create many paths for the eye to wander.

With every stroke of the brush, my intention is to pay tribute not only to the animal, but to the landscape and moments that shaped who I am. This bond with place and creature is woven through every painting, offering you a glimpse into the journey that inspires my creativity. I’m grateful for the chance to share these stories and connections through my art.
