Artist statement

The WETSEASON painting is part of an ongoing commitment within my art practice to explore the diverse environments of Far North Queensland. Through observation of the recurring cycles of the seasons, I seek out the patterns that emerge and the ways these seasonal changes shape the Savannah, Arid Land, Rainforest and Wetlands. Through the repetition of line, colour and motif, this subtle painting reflects the rhythms, transformations and interconnectedness of these landscapes. It captures the shifting relationships between climate, vegetation and time, and inviting viewers to consider the beauty and complexity of the natural cycles that define this unique environment.
