Glendambo SA
60cm x 45cm Oil on Gesso on Board

The painting depicts Glendambo, a remote outpost along the Stuart Highway between Adelaide and Coober Pedy, capturing the arid outback landscape with its red soil and sparse vegetation, a region known for its harsh conditions where a 2021 study in Journal of Arid Environments noted temperatures can exceed 45°C, challenging human survival without preparation.

The scene’s inclusion of a rusty ute and locals by a creek hints at the resilience of outback communities.

Mount Marsden Capetree Valley NSW
50cm x 40cm Oil on Gesso on Board

The painting depicts Mount Marsden in Capertee Valley, NSW, a striking sandstone formation that rises 1,200 meters and is part of an escarpment rarely climbed due to its cliffs and private land, as noted in a 2018 bushwalk.com report detailing a challenging ascent route.

The scene captures a historically significant landscape, with Capertee Valley known for its geological diversity and as a site of early 20th-century shale mining.

Depleted Hume Weir Tallangatta Vic Australia
56.5cm x 40cm Oil on Gesso on Board

Capturing the historically low water levels of Lake Hume, a key Australian reservoir, reflecting a severe drought in 2025 that reduced its capacity to less than 10% as reported by the Murray-Darling Basin Authority, impacting irrigation and local ecosystems

Named after explorer Hamilton Hume, the Hume Weir’s depletion highlights ongoing debates about water management, with a 2023 peer-reviewed study in Water Resources Research suggesting climate change has doubled drought frequency in the region since the 1990s.

Australian Country Vista

40cm x 30cm Oil on Gesso on Board

Depicting a serene landscape with mountains, a winding path, and a river, reflecting his passion for textured brushstrokes.

Using oil on gesso board, I allow for slower drying and better blending, a technique favoured by artists like Rembrandt, with the board’s absorbency enhancing the vivid greens and purples in his work.

Uluru (Eyers Rock) NT Australia

150cm x 75cm Oil on Stretched Linen

Uluru, a massive sandstone monolith in Australia's Northern Territory, known for its cultural significance to the Aṉangu people and its striking red glow at sunrise and sunset.

Uluru, also called Ayers Rock, is a geological marvel standing 348m high with a 9.4km perimeter, formed over 600 million years ago, and is part of the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park, established in 1958, highlighting its global natural and cultural value.

Pulpit Hill Blue Mountains NSW Australia

76cm x 60cm Oil on Gesso on Board

Oil painting of Pulpit Hill in Katoomba, NSW, Australia, a site historically tied to European exploration, notably the 1813 Blue Mountains crossing, symbolized by the "Explorers marked tree" as a marker of colonial expansion.

Pulpit Hill's interpretation has traditionally emphasized its European heritage, but a 2018 NSW government grant aimed to broaden this narrative, introducing new themes to reflect a more inclusive history, acknowledging Indigenous perspectives often overlooked in earlier accounts.

My artwork aligns with a regional tradition of capturing the Blue Mountains’ elusive qualities, as seen in the works of artists like the late John Wilson, who also hosted oil painting workshops in Katoomba and other regions across Australia.

Had the great honour and pleasure of attending two productive workshops with the late John Wilson in 2023 and 2024 prior to his passing in March 2025. So grateful to be able to purchase this painting from John after the 2023 workshop. The second pic here is my attempt to paint the same scene.
