Art is in the eye of the beholder and so too are the images that inspire. My work varies from painting, drawing , sculpting and photography. I get my inspiration from artists that I love, things that surround me, my family and my imagination.

Inspirations

Last week we went on a family driving holiday to many parts of Queensland.  We saw some wonderful parts of this varied state, but one stole my heart- Carnarvon Gorge.  I was totally blown away by its ruggedness, diversity and beauty.  So of course, it gave me some inspirations for my next few pieces.
Here you can see how I got inspiration from my very favourite place- Mickey's Creek Gorge- isn't it dreamy!


The photograph of the pendant is tricky to capture, but this one was to represent the layers of sandstone and ochre that was used to create these ancient indigenous rock paintings at Baloon Cave. 
 And the glorious layers of sandstone at the Moss Garden.


The sights I have seen in the past week will keep me inspired for a long time to come.
