I was so excited and honoured to be pre-selected for the Brisbane Art Prize 2016 from hundreds of entries from all over the world!

The theme for the competition was ‘The meaning of life’.

The opening night was at the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts, Brisbane. Here I am at the opening night with my friends and my entry titled ‘Let your light shine’. My idea for the theme came about as we are called by God to let our light shine to the world. My plan was for my subject to emanate light. I think I succeeded.

The opening night was a great success with  huge crowd! Thank you to The Glance Photography who took some fantastic pics!

Happy to win a 2nd prize for ‘Courage’ in the art show in June.

The theme for the section was ‘Australian outback’.

I chose to paint this aboriginal boy backed by a classic outback sunset. He has a look of courage and determination on his adorable little face.

To get a better look at this painting go to my Portraits section in the menu bar above.

So excited to be chosen from hundreds of entries from all over the world!

The theme for the competition is ‘The meaning of life’. My painting shown here is titled ‘Let your light shine’.

I’m heading down to the awards night on Thursday with some of my friends and family. It’s going to be an awesome night with some fantastic entertainment and of course lots of wonderful art. #brisartprize2016

I am in love with texture and colour. I find inspiration in the strangest things….a piece of lace, a rusty bottle top, keys, an old tape measure….you never know what will turn up on my art work….that’s what makes it exciting for me! As far as colour is concerned it is not uncommon for me to completely change the colour scheme of an almost finished painting if it doesn’t feel right to me.
