As an Australian landscape artist, I’m endlessly inspired by the charm and character of our land. I’ve tried to bottle that feeling on canvas, so you can hang it somewhere you’ll see it every day

The Australian landscape has long had a way of bamboozling artists—tough, wild, and bathed in a light so fierce it seems to desaturate the world. Since the days of the Heidelberg School in the 19th century, often called Australia's first art movement, painters like Streeton and Roberts have been squinting into the sun, wrestling with shimmering plains and eucalyptus haze. Originally inspired by French Impressionism, they soon found they had to favour sun-drenched ochres, chalky blues, and dusty greens, painting en plein air to capture the land’s raw beauty in real time. I’m happily carrying on the tradition, unraveling the mystery in paint, one sun-bleached paddock and salt-scrubbed shoreline at a time.
