My second series captures the breath-taking forest in the Murrindindi region of Australia, devastated by bushfires but now in a state of regeneration. I explored it at different times, documenting various sections, creating several interpretations of the multi-layered, textural patterns in these hauntingly beautiful and mystical landscapes, featuring the bare Mountain Ash trees that present a unique and linear mark on the land. A story of devastation and regeneration has become a celebration of the forest and a dreamscape that becomes a tribute to nature.
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.
