ARTIST STATEMENT
My mural for the Banna Lane festival is an Impressionist abstract landscape formation that is layered together using expressive mark-making and a bright colour palette. A lot of my work is founded on colour studies and sketches that are produced over time in the Australian bushland. These fast colour reference sketches are then used as a backbone to create a mural.
