This photograph celebrates the majesty of a regenerating forest once devastated by bushfires, and now a multi-layered, mystical landscape–rich in texture and the detail of nature. The abstracted composition encourages the viewer to see the beauty in nature through patterns, lines, shapes and forms.

As a Photographic Artist, I am inspired by, and search for, beauty in the natural world. I’m drawn to textures, colours, patterns, forms and light and shade in the landscape and in nature. These design elements feature strongly in my art, no doubt due to my education in graphic design. I love to capture detail and explore various interpretations and compositions of a scene or subject. My professional expertise as an Art Director enables me to capture images with the intent of elevating an ordinary subject to one that aims to be visually extraordinary.

Awards Over the last few years, I've received recognition from international and local (Australian) photography competitions, in various categories including Fine Art, Nature, Landscape and Abstract. I've been awarded with First Place, Silver, Bronze, Top 10, Top 20, Honourable Mentions and shortlisted recognition. For a full list of awards, please visit my website.
