‘Timefolds’ was painted after a trip made by the artist in late 2025 to the Freycinet National Park in Tasmania. The colours of the cliffs of the Hazards in the national park are striking: the greys and pinks of granite splotched with the brightest of tangerine orange caused by lichen growing on the granite cliff faces, and then the dark oxblood red and almost black bases of the cliff caused by water leaching out iron oxides and manganese. The shapes suggested by the oxblood reds and dark raw umber browns become creatures that pay homage to the particular and distinct fauna of Tasmania: thylacines or Tasmanian tigers, wombats, red-necked wallabies, spotted tiger quolls, Tasmanian devils and the abundant bird life found in the wild places of our southernmost state.

‘Lichen Lines’ is one of a series based on the lichen-encrusted cliffsides of the Hazards in Freycinet National Park. Nature paints its own patterns, and this cliff face reminded me of the cave paintings of Lascaux in France. Wandering nomadic humans and echoes of animal inhabitants of the Tasmanian wilderness.

Jacob’s Ladder’ resulted from a trip made by the artist in late 2025 to the Freycinet National Park in Tasmania. The colours of the cliffs are striking: the greys and pinks of granite splotched with the brightest of tangerine orange caused by lichen growing on the granite cliff faces, and then the dark dark almost black bases of the cliff caused by water leaching out iron oxides and manganese, bringing about almost black shapes that are reminiscent of all the animals and birds and humans who have inhabited the area of the Freycinet since time immemorial.

Inspired by the cliffs below Stirling Castle, this abstract oil painting responds to the quiet complexity of weathered stone. Softly layered colour—greens, chalked whites, and warm mineral reds—moves across the surface like light drifting over rock. Lines emerge and dissolve, suggesting fissures, seams, and the subtle architecture formed by time and pressure.

One of two paintings inspired by the cliffs below Stirling Castle in Scotland. Rather than describing the landscape directly, the painting captures its atmosphere: the sense of weight, stillness, and slow transformation embedded in the cliff face. The surface invites close viewing, revealing moments of translucency and density that echo erosion and accumulation. Rooted in observation yet freed through abstraction, the work offers a contemplative encounter with place, where geology becomes gesture and stone carries a quiet, enduring presence.

This 92 x 61 cm painting is a study for the larger painting done immediately after this – titled the same but 150 x 100 cm.

Remarkable Rocks are a landmark on Kangaroo Island in South Australia. This artwork is a bold and textured take in ochre and blue of one of the most significant rocks of the landform, and would be a striking feature on a white wall.
