GARIGAL BIRDS


This is a collection of small paintings inspired by my strolls through the Garigal National Reserve in the early mornings. The sun sends shafts of light through the huge variety of gums and shrubs.

Birds are elusive, blurring out of my way as I approach, leaving an impression 
of colour and movement.

I have now completed three new mixed media collage designs and added them to the Gallery.

Welcome to Fish Might Fly, a collection of mixed media collages on paper and paintings on canvas. My art has evolved into a combination of photography, digital art and paint. My life as a graphic artist, certainly contributes to the way I create these works, and my lifelong interest in nature, supplies me with the inspiration. I hope others enjoy these works as much as I do.
