Throughout my studies, I have created an array of abstract expressionism-style paintings. My interest in this style comes from an early obsession with urban Sydney graffiti culture and 1980s New York art scene. Stylistically, I have been influenced by the likes of Christopher Le Brun, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Roy Jackson, Sean Scully, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock. I enjoy working in this style as it enables me to explore creative impulses and express my feelings and emotions. My paintings, A Person Standing, Caves and Meadows, were selected for a group show at BADNEWSGALLERY in Wollongong. The gallery curators and audience members enjoyed how the unique mark-making, use of colour enabled them to feel emotions while viewing the work.
