    SOLO EXHIBITION at SOL GALLERY 15 - 26 May , 2024

    Opening Reception : Thursday 16 May 2024, 6:00 - 8.30pm
    Exhibition dates. 15 - 26 May , 2024

    It is with great excitement that I share news of my upcoming solo exhibition at SOL Gallery next month which will showcase my latest paintings in their magnificent building in the heart of Melbourne's Fitzroy arts precinct.

    This series, imbued with a fusion of technique, emotion, and an unwavering commitment to visual expression, invites viewers to explore the boundaries of perception and engage with the expressive power of art. Blending abstraction, colour, and composition, these paintings create intricate narratives within expansive canvases that challenge viewers to look beyond the surface, unravel layers of meaning, and connect with the very essence of visual expression.

    From its prime location to its unwavering commitment to contemporary Australian and Asian Art, SOL Gallery stands as a beacon for artistic expression and cultural exploration, fostering artistic diversity in the heart of Melbourne's Fitzroy arts precinct.

    CULTURE MAGAZINE INTERVIEW

    Last week, I sat down with Claire from Culture Magazine to talk about art and life..

    "My art is becoming increasingly raw and there is so much excitement and joy in that for me personally. I feel like it is a little tick of authenticity to have spent 20 years painting and not in the least bit lost my passion or enthusiasm for colour, music and movement in the process. It is just a wonderfully cathartic and beautifully energised experience for me and I am very grateful to wake each morning and cycle with my dog Chloé to my studio in Melbourne, where I feel most free and at peace, and genuinely excited for life - if I could share just a small part of that feeling through my art with others, I would be very happy."
