Black and White

Time to share some of my black and white designs which have been an ongoing body of work over the last 15yrs. One of my fascinations is with pattern and my black and white designs were born out of a time when I did not have the physical space to be creative so they were developed in A5 & A6 visual journals. I have several journals full of them and over time I was able to upscale to canvases.   I hope one day to translate some of these designs to fabrics.


These are a few of the ones that made it to canvas in 2005.

  This one is titled "Beach Party" it was one of my entries for the 2005 Margaret River Rotary Art Exhibition

untitled 3 2005

All of these designs have been drawn freehand and the concentration that each one takes can be very therapeutic.  "Beach Party" takes pride of place in my living room along side my other entry for the same exhibition. I hope to share that with you too some time soon

One man's snapshot is another man's masterpiece........

I'm always in pursuit of the perfect photo.... my perfect photo, the image that captures the moment perfectly in my mind. For me photo's are about a moment in time. The image tells part of a story and infers the rest. I love taking photos, I don't profess to be a great photographer but some people like what I do and after all 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

One man's snapshot is another man's masterpiece.... what defines if an image is successful? I believe that you do, the individual is the critic.

I hope you like what I create ..................
