Medium: Encaustic, oil and pigment on board

I am a contemporary landscape painter, developing works that are drawn from emotional responses to the landscape.

Texture is a theme embedded in my practice, where I explore its dynamic potential through building up and carving back; a dance between control and unpredictability revealing the sculptural quality of wax, oil and pigment.
Currently based in the Mount Barker, Western Australia, I completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting) at Edith Cowan University, Perth in 2000. I have been included in numerous group shows across Australia, including twelve successful solo shows.

Artwork Title: HUNTING TRIP
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 41 x 61cm
Price: $850
Artist Statement:
2020 will certainly be remembered as a year of rebellion, earth’s rebellion, which is now forced to evolve in order to curb the greatest enemy, MAN.
Along with its own deep changes also earth’s creatures become rebels in their own lands. The Whistling Kites for example are the third cause of bushfires in Australia. They carry small fiery branches, from land to land, to enlarge the areas of the bushfires. This will force the weaker animals to come out from their hiding spots to get to safety. A vile illusion created by the kites just to turn other animals into easy prey.
A bit like this 2020 that is exposing the fragility and weaknesses of modern man. The normal and the everyday habits have become a source of fears and awes.
The "flying" and "carrying" of the whistling kites become means of spreading for an evil (the fire) too difficult to control.
For us too, "traveling" and "exploring", always perceived as an extension of culture to tear down borders, have become means of spreading the last of evils for the humankind (COVID-19). And so, just as that fiery branch widens the fire until it is uncontrollable, travels spread the pandemic and the closure of borders.

The Murray River has inspired Artists and Poets for many years, from early works from Indingenous Artists to 20th Century Australian masters.

I experienced absoloute stillness and peace. Sunsets at dusk disguising the usual murky hue of the water with an exact mirror image of its reflection. I feel a strong sense of place because of the surrounding colours and smells. This painting is a reflection of all of those experiences, aiming to capture that same stillness and peace I feel when I am there.

What is lost to nothing disappears as if it never existed. If the longed-for saviour does not arrive quickly, there will be no trace of fantasy and not the slightest memory.
(Michael Ende, The Neverending Story)
This quote applies today more than ever. I interpret "the nothing" as the tech industry taking away our imagination, society getting sucked into their phones, losing our ability to create our own entertainment. We don't read books anymore, we don't listen to vinyl anymore, instead of playing board games we play on our devices. Our brains are changing.
This painting is a digital rendition of a photo of a sunset in an industrial area near my town and was digitally distorted, then painted on canvas, thereby reclaiming the traditional side of art while still making use of technology.

I normally paint without direct reference or intended purpose. I allow the picture to form itself and then start to guide and pursue the opportunity that presents itself.

Artwork Title: DEPRESSION
Medium: oil
Size: 60 x 60cm
Artist Statement:
It expresses the primal emotion of depression. It's finger-painted to express depression's debilitation and accurately depicts the absence of joy. In this sense it reflects the apparent dichotomies of abstraction and complete realism in the eyes and mind of the sufferer as it represents all they actually see and feel.

Artwork Title: SUCKLING AT THE TEAT OF THE EARTH AND SEA
Medium: mixed
Size: 60 x 60cm

Depression eases when this sufferer meets sea and earth. Connections to elemental forces have profound impact on the disease. Shadows recede, concrete reality slowly replaces the abstractive reality of the sufferer. This is finger painted on board and rock, its removal from this context would alter its healing irreparably.

Kolor12 is a part of a painting series in which the artist creates fields of minute colour particles. It is based on translating static and moving digital images onto paper surfaces. The resulting pulsating intensities create a cascade of oscillating minutiae that mesmerise our attention and suggest the micro-space beneath. The brush points are minimal yet reveal the meticulous focus of the artist’s hand as it creates a rainbow of points that navigate us into the micro-materiality of the world.

The work is part of an on-going interrogation and fascination with the coastline - its beaches, geology and seas. This series was inspired by Max Dupain's photographs of bathers in the early 20c. Here I show bathers in a less iconic or sentimentalised way.

The work is part of an on-going interrogation and fascination with the coastline - its beaches, geology and seas, especially my local swimming beach, Clovelly, Sydney .

Artwork Title: VESSEL OF COLLECTIVE MEMORY
Medium: Woven oil drawing on paper
Size: 48 x 50cm
Price: $800
Artist Statement:
The Vessel for Collective Memory concept came to me listening to our politicians argue over Covid 19 border closures and contact tracing methodology. There seems no room for memory to be used as a source of knowledge, as they bumble onto more pronouncements over the Indian outbreak. I thought of a thicket being a metaphor for such discussions and have woven it into a leaky open weave basket to capture our wisdom.

Artwork Title: RAW FORM
Medium: Oil on board
Size: 30 x 20cm
Price: $500
Artist Statement:
During the COVID-19 lockdown, I spent a lot of time painting self-portraits, due to the forced isolation of the period. I enjoyed this time, as I find self-portraiture a space where you can explore persona and identity while also developing technique and pushing the artwork medium. This portrait was an experiment with a more neutral palette, hence being a 'raw form'.

Artist Statement:
My day job, they call me Bob Plumb.
Straight up and down as the moniker implies, plumb bob.
Can he fix it?
Bob the builder
if I can’t fix it… it cant be fixed.
There was one particular job, I don’t have the skills to do the description justice without a string of expletives inappropriate for the situation… a level of incompetence that is illegal and sees the owner, being taken without consent.
The same character in the position of disadvantage, stopped to tell me his story of swimming the English Channel.
11oC water temperature for 15 hours, a storm blew in, thrush in his mouth from salt water, vomiting for three hours… he didn’t say anything the entire swim, just got on…
He told me, there was a point where he asked for a sign from god, emphatically stressing he wasn’t a bible basher or happy clapper, I laughed and assured him he was safe as I’m an atheist who meditates.
There in the English channel in a puddle of piss and spew, three dolphins turned up on cue and swam with him three kilometres.
I liked the story so much I painted this

Size: 17 x 50cm
Price: $900
Artist Statement:
This free standing curved painting is double sided and is made of 3 vacuum pressed pieces of timber that have been glued to together and pressed to form a curve.
I love working in a horizontal format and have found working with a convex and concave shape gives the viewer the opportunity to read each image in a heightened way as the curved surfaces nicely mirror the contours of the landscape.
I have gently burned into the surface of the timber with a soldering iron which has become an integral part of my practice in the last few years.

Dragon paintings
The genesis of the Dragon paintings was an aerial shot of receding water in Queensland’s Channel Country. There were extraordinary shapes formed on the landscape from the water left after the area flooded. One shape this particular reminded me of a dragon so I painted a series of totally different ‘Dragons’ with two connecting aspects, their shape, derived from the landscape, and the use of dots in their outline, a tribute to how indigenous artists create places and tell stories in their art.
The amazing part about the shape is that it can be turned upside down but still retains its dragon form.

Artist Statement:
I've been looking for a working process that is rich in implication. Where the marks are both independent gestures but also acknowledge the brain's tendency to search for representation. I’m looking for this middle ground, to confound the space somehow through the interchange of revealing and concealing.

This is the first in my series integrating elements from illustrators and artists I admire, into surreal situations. These situations have personal meaning to me.

Leaving home. I wish I were the butterfly who secretly goes through stems, landing safely on leaves without clashing.

I never think of skulls as being female. This work represents a real person who is a fake and has no substance to them. Her motivation is fame and money. Her words cannot be trusted. Her outward beauty is of no consequence because what lies underneath is lies.

2020: Deaths were being reported daily, faceless people, a number. Wreaths represent Australian states/territories containment of the invisible killer.

Artwork Title: I WAS LOST, BUT NOW I AM FOUND
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 60 x 60cm
Price: $2800
Artist Statement:
I was wading out, one very low tide, examining all that was exposed when, along came two dogs, darting and chasing, splashing and playing.
This guy, would fly through the shallows and then suddenly stop, as if to see where he was, lost, uncertain of where to go next. Then he would see his buddy and off he would fly again, a hydrofoil through the water, four paws as one fin and then….stop……lost again.
This is how I find my life, I charge along , full of gusto and energy and desire, to race down my chosen path…… and then….. i stop, or am stopped, by another project, a new path, or just a speed bump….the speed bump that is life, and I have to reassess, get my bearings …….. and then I am off again…..like a tireless inventor, seeing possibilities in everything.
Reacting to everything…..even if I don’t know why.

Medium: mixed media on 3 x birch boards
Size: 25 x 60cm
Price: $1100
Artist Statement:
I walk around Glebe Lagoon in Bega every day, fascinated by it's raucous energy and resilence through drought, flood, blazing heat and freezing frosts. Bats, birds, insects and mammals (like me) live in it or alongside it, all of us in a state of trust and cooperation with each other.
For me it symbolises the interconnectivity I think all of us on planet Earth yearn for. It's a tangled, smelly, richly populated place which speaks to my core and it's become my emblem of hope and wonder in a world which often seems as if its forgotten we're all in this life thing together.
For better or worse.
Artist Name: KAREN SEDAITIS
Artwork Title: SIERRA'S CUP ON STRIPES
Medium: Oil on birch board
Size: 50 x 50cm
Price: $750
Artist Statement:
Sierra is a local potter who was inspired by one of my paintings to make a cup, which she later gave me. I wanted to continue the collaborative riffing and so I painted Sierra's Cup On Stripes, which is a composition including Sierra's cup - and within it, a portion of my original painting - as well as the plate she and I both love and the shirt I usually wear when painting.
This kind of creative collaboration is one facet of what makes life shine for me; inspiration, mutual respect, creativity, freedom of expression, humour, love and beauty.
This painting symbolises all of that for me.

Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Size: 39 x 47cm
Price: $920
Artist Statement:
Through my travels into Mutawintji Country, Fowlers Gap outback NSW, comes this work which responds to the deep memories of ancient ochre cliffs, reflective waterholes, flat spindly open spaces and dry river beds. ‘This Place’ is vast, arid and diversely stunning and my painting draws upon its natural forms not to imitate but connect in a more inventive way to the raw wilderness of desert Australia.

Medium: Pastel / Pencil
Size: 57 x 41cm
Price: $17900
Artist Statement:
I was really attracted by this church, at Penguin, on a recent family trip to Tasmania. I took a different interpretation than some previous works, still incorporating the realism of the scene, but focussing on the "stoutness" of the building and over-exaggerating the unusual stained-glass elements.

This scene is a memory from a family trip that I took to NZ with my wife, children and my father (an NZ native). I chose a deep textured paper for this work, as it lends itself well to the textures of the scene, while still allowing a softness to be maintained in the mountains, trees and paddock.

Medium: charcoal, conte on fabriano
Size: 55 x 33cm
Price: $890
Artist Statement:
The drawing of beads served to sooth, as worry beads should in difficult times, and whilst the disquiet may still be there, the practice of drawing small, repetitive shapes served well as my worry bead. Charcoal and conte are my chosen medium, and erasers reveal the hard place.

I see landscapes in layers, and this is my working approach. The littoral zones and tangled mangroves of Hinchinbrook Island are ever changing, slightly threatening but compelling.

Stradbroke Island’s littoral zones are important to me. The deep shadows and looping, liquid lines of the tannin lakes also provide still, quiet enjoyment. Although a printmaker, my lino work is not an end point, rather it provides a base for further layers of drawing, ink wash and linear pattern.

Medium: Watercolour and Gouache on plaster-board
Size: 27 x 57cm
Price: $500
Artist Statement:
'Where things flow in between spaces' is concerned with drought, fires, and flood! I was on a bushwalk through a national park and noticed my favorite waterfall normally a trickle, was now running again! It was beautiful to see the running water, to smell and hear it run. It made me think about our uncertain future where drought, floods, and bush fires impact on nature constantly lately. The vacant and suggestion of the water and trees within the painting exemplifies how easily they can vanish!

Medium: Acrylic on Cradled Panel
Size: 30 x 30cm
Price: $430
Artist Statement:
I like to misplace my animal subjects within a home to create an element of surprise. Altering them to become more intriguing and to evoke “human like” personalities and emotions. Because the kookaburra is known to symbolize laughter, happiness, community, family, and healing, I chose to misplace a kookaburra, alone and inside, with the shadow of a window to the outside world to represent how so many people are separated or isolated from their friends, families and communities. In addition to the kookaburra, I also wanted to focus on the design, composition, and color of the interior to create an emotional attachment to the styling of the room.

Unusually for a still-life painting, there were no actual 3D objects to portray and no preconceived ideas of what the painting would be about.

‘The apology’ is a portrait exploring a woman’s inner turmoil between self-loathing and self-love. She is her own punching bag yet bandages the wounds with little acts of personal compassion. As women, we feel so many social pressures feeding the kind of inner criticism which is often hard to forgive. Battling internalised patriarchal voices which chip away at self worth- can we forgive ourselves infinitely? The figure looks into a mirror- both tentative and guarded. Standing before herself, both giver and receiver of the apology.

"Jar of Honey" is something I have wanted to paint for a long time, to me honey represents life and the perfection of nature, but also the plight of bee populations being decimated by pesticides.

I choose to set the honey in a neutral background to emphasize it's warmth and ambrosia like qualities as a representation of life giving qualities. I also hope this makes audiences think on where it comes from, how it has arrived, and what our honey provides.

Artwork Title: AFTER THE RAIN
Medium: Natural pigment watercolours, ink
Size: 40 x 28cm
Price: $1900
Artist Statement:
This artwork came about whilst experimenting with Daniel Smith natural watercolour pigments, made from minerals found in the ground. The very unique way they bleed into each other and seperate creating crusty textures and shimmering reflections from the sun is mesmerising. Very much like taking a walk after the rain has fallen and the ground is rich in colour and textures. Critters come out from the undergrowth and life continues to cycle.

Artwork Title: MY JOURNEY WEST- TRIPTYCH
Medium: Acrylic and mixed media on canvas
Size: 45 x 15cm
Price: $970
Artist Statement:
To create 1 artwork or many simultaneously was the question I began with when creating this triptych. Abstract expressionism relies heavily on the elements of design and mark marking but we can become constrained and narrowly focussed working 1 piece at a time, especially with small canvases. Painting many together frees up the focus and the mark marking, allowing the smaller pieces to be seen as part of a larger whole. Each canvas can stand alone, but together tell a more complete story of their creation.

Artwork Title: TRAMSHED WINDOW
Medium: Watercolour
Size: 53 x 37cm
Price: $1250
Artist Statement:
A simple yet complex window. Routine brickwork but contrived to ‘present’ an opening with raked sill, decorative lintel and overhead louvre venting . A weathering timber frame, a distorted inner flyscreen layer, the rigor of rusting external bars and playful graffiti markings, all brought to life by the sun.

Medium: Print of a hand drawing.
Size: 50 x 50cm
Price: $390
Artist Statement:
In the cemetery everything decays. Stonework and render acquire a patina of age from weathering and mould. With the passage of time, graves collapse inward and the surrounding walls gradually fall into disrepair. Trees grow haphazardly from untended sites. And amongst the ruins you find vases and urns of brightly coloured artificial flowers.

Artwork Title: POSTCARDS TO THERESA MAY
Medium: digital photographs
Size: 35 x 28cm
Price: $200
Artist Statement:
On 17 February 2019, two days after Theresa May’s Government had been defeated for the second time on her Brexit deal with the EU, journalist Tom Peck wrote an article in The Independent, on the British Prime Minister. Peck likened her to the rugged Nokia 5210, a shockproof, water-resistant mobile phone that was renowned for its indestructibility. Fascinated by this I looked up the Nokia 5210 and started reading old reviews from 2002. Bizarre as it seemed, the journalist had hit on something that resonated: the words used to describe the phone in the reviews somehow seemed to speak of Theresa May and the political situation. I used some of these words in two digitally designed postcards. Another element of the Nokia phone, the unusually shaped “on” “off” buttons suggested shouting people; they represent the “yes” “no” protests seen daily in the press at that time. NB. Dimensions include frame; photo of postcards taken prior to framing

Medium: Acrylic
Size: 53 x 53cm
Price: $750
Artist Statement:
This landscape started out like all my paintings do, purely abstract with spontaneous marks and shapes being layered on each other.

In this remembered / imagined world colours are intense, energetic and playful vibrating with emotional energy to spark a response in the viewer.

I have employed traditional feminine crafts to create rainbow oil slick and colourful clusters of algal blooms. Using metallic thread onto soluble stabiliser which dissolves when immersed in water, leaving only the stitches.Embroidered panels sandwiched between six panels of glass. Whilst mesmerising and beautiful, in reality they represent degradation, and death to untold sea creatures. All due to human intervention.

Reminiscent of the ephemeral tide mark during the fires, Bird fall incorporates found and recycled clay to shape the clay into bird and leaf forms.

Artist Statement:
Beautiful objects represent the colonial world that is my heritage and privilege...objects I love...and sometimes resent...for the way we amass them and the way they mask deeper immaterial truths.
Likewise from the beginning of European settlement beautiful things and the ‘civility’ they depicted disguised the truth of this harsh land.
All this swills around as I imagine untangling from the dominant colonial narrative that has defined me, most of us, since birth.
