Located in Marrickville, Sydney, small scale industrial outlets create a workman-like inner urban ‘canvas’ which attracts expression. Graffiti prevails.

Hidden Spot is a palette knife painting and the reference photo was my own. I love the tranquility of the scene and hope this comes across in the artwork.

Artist Statement:

As a child, a favourite beach time activity was to play out on the rocks and play houses with my friends. Rockpools remind me of apartment blocks with lots of tiny rooms, each decorated differently, providing a haven for their inhabitants.

Artwork Title: RETURNING

Medium: Acrylic on wooden board

Size: 80 x 100cm

Price: $2600

Artist Statement:

'Returning' is a work inspired from my childhood memories on the land. My grandparents had a working farm in Jugiong, NSW and I believe that is where my deep appreciation for nature began. My work goes beyond representation, inviting viewers to engage and explore a personal interpretation.
