For me this was a period of freedom to experiment, during Covid isolation and my drift away from studies at UNSW Art and Design. I continued to make art with my ‘non-objective’ almost expressionistic approach combined with found shapes and/or off-cuts. During the first half of 2021 I made 160 paintings. The selection of artworks on this page have been painted on canvas, poly-cotton, paper and wood.
