Artist Statement

After I moved north of Newcastle in 1976, I became hooked on life at the beach, and that seaside move shaped my life.

Living by the sea was not enough for me and I soon became involved in surfing, sailing & spear fishing. All these play a part in creating an understanding on how waves break and the effect of the wind on the form and shape of the surrounding beach landscape.

The seaside lifestyle has been the major theme in my art since childhood. I try to capture the ocean as a living, moving environment with its constantly changing extremes of mood, light and colour.

This is a collection of some of my favourite secluded beaches and rocky outcrops from Nelson Bay to Catherine Hill Bay. Featuring well known landmarks and unspoilt beaches capturing the uniqueness and diversity of a finally balanced environment.
Including Newcastle beach, Bar Beach, Susan Gilmour Beach,Dixon Park Beach, Fingal Bay, Shoal Bay, Catherine Hill Bay,Redhead, and Swansea to name a few.

As a self taught artist, I never did get around to having that formal art lesson. My style of art is to paint in a realistic manner with a bias towards impressionism. Stretching the boundaries of the painting to capture the atmosphere and the feel of the environment from which the composition was birthed. I hope you enjoy my collection from Bay to Bay.
