For me painting is an act of reverence, a soft yet enduring enunciation of the profundity of nature and its fortitude in an age of anthropogenic activities.  Straddling a midpoint between recognition, of the landscape, and the sensed experience of it.  I lead my painting to find the 'spirit' of place: specifically the Murray River region where I have lived for many years.
