PAINTER

I am a contemporary painter working in Maleny. My arts practice explores the relationship between painting and photography, and how each of these complicates our interpretation of how we think we see. My paintings use the temporality of hand to entice the viewer into the photographic nature of the works, only to then hopefully open a more meaningful dialogue regarding how we ‘process’ what we see.
