I’ll be spending the morning drawing and painting live outside Oxford Street Gallery on Saturday 6 June, and I’d love for you to come by and say hello.

I work exclusively en plein air — creating directly from life — and some of my favourite moments come from the conversations, stories and chance encounters that happen while I’m painting. Every place and person leaves a small imprint on the work.

On the day, I’ll have live sketches available to purchase:
A5 unframed sketches — $35

A selection of featured original works will also be available to browse and collect. Feel free to message the gallery ahead of time if you’d like a catalogue sent through.

Oxford Street Gallery will have complimentary tea and coffee available inside, and there are some wonderful spots nearby for breakfast and barista coffee too.

Hope to see you there for a relaxed morning of art, conversation and painting from life.

Saturday June 6
10am – 11am
395 Oxford Street, Mount Hawthorn, Perth

Sun-soaked memories of Rottnest ✨

Painted back in 2009, this piece captures the ever-changing blues and greens of The Basin — one of the island’s most iconic spots. From the gentle roll of the waves to the crisp coastal light, it’s a little slice of WA paradise on paper.

The original has since found its home, but you can still bring this view into yours. Prints are available via the website — perfect for adding a touch of coastal calm to your space.

"Wellard Road, looking towards the town of Harvey, Western Australia 2" continues my interest in this quiet, familiar landscape.

The painting measures 710 x 350mm (painting only), or 710 x 520mm including the paint testing, where the process becomes part of the work itself.
