During 2017 we continued living in Sydney and I was painting full-time in my St Leonards studio. With full-time painting my palette has matured, that is, become more consistent and more colourful. My work is generally more abstract too, as I approach painting with a new found freedom and new knowledge from my studies. In July I started my Master of Art at UNSWAD (COFA), this study has started to unravel concepts I wasn’t aware of within my art practice.
