Artist Statement: This sculpture depicts 2 birds flying in circles. We will be like the birds flying in circles, getting nowhere when trying to save our environment unless we start now with some definitive action, instead of passing the problems onto someone else.

Awards: 2010 RNA 1st prize; 2010 RNA Champion Sculpture

Wood: Australian Red Cedar

Dimension: 60 x 40 x 30cm

Artist Statement: The sea inspires many of my sculptures. This is reflected here with the movement of the waves , the diving of seabirds and the leaping of whales out of the ocean. By fusing these elements in the one sculpture I endeavour to show how the two environments, the air and the sea, and all that lives in and on them are closely inter-connected.

Wood: Huon Pine

Dimensions: 82 x 30 x 30cm

Artist Statement: I have used the unblemished pale honey coloured grain of the huon pine to reflect the beauty of the Egret that always looks so clean and elegant as it feeds.

Wood: Jacaranda

Dimensions: 75 x 35 x 35cm

Artist Statement: This sculpture reflects the joys I experienced when sailing; watching the bow slice through the waves and the exhilaration I felt as the boat ‘lifted her skirts’ and surged down the face of the wave.

Wood: Poinciana and black stain

Dimensions: 70 x 35 x 30cm

Artist Statement: The bond of a mother and child transcends all boundaries. The sculpture focuses on the bond, of a mother and the child that was inside her; the child she held close to her heart; it will always be part of her. This deep primal maternal love that she feels inside her is always with her…like a shadow in her heart. 

Wood: Australian White Cedar

Dimensions: 80 x 30 x 30cm

Artist Statement: I am always enchanted by the freedom of birds as they gracefully glide, twist and turn in the air.

Limited Edition Bronze 1/15

Artist Statement: This was inspired by the treble clef symbol, my love of sailing and the shape of sails. However as the sculpture progressed I saw it also evolving as a flower, opening, releasing an evocative fragrance drifting on a gentle breeze.

Limited Edition Bronze 1/15

Dimensions: 92 x 50 x 40cm

Artist Statement: This sculpture was inspired after seeing the performance of Flamenco Fire at QPAC Theatre where I was enthralled by the colour, movement and passion displayed by the dancers.

Awards:  Original was Champion Sculpture 2014 Royal National Show Brisbane; 2014 Sculptors Queensland People's Choice Award

Bronze Limited Edition 3/25

Dimensions: 70 x 30 x 22cm

Artist Statement: Graceful, unconventional lines are used in this sculpture to form volume and expression. Marrying the lines of the wing and the head of the Albatross to form a wave, defines the Albatross in harmony with its’ environment.  The simplistic clean lines of the wing in flight, epitomizes the significance of an environmental plan to abandon pollution. Man’s unrelenting desire for economic growth unfortunately results in our oceans and atmosphere becoming the refuse tip of the world. The decline of Albatross numbers is now a ‘canary’ of our environment’s health: warning us that we need to take control of our environment.

This limited edition bronze was cast from an original created from Jacaranda wood which has won numerous prizes. 

So often we admire the plumage of birds but don’t appreciate the skills and the beauty of their choreographed acrobatic dance like movements in the sky. The graceful twisting, turning, diving and soaring movements are the inspiration for this sculpture.

Dimensions: 67x23x20cm
