My BATHERS series of paintings bring shapes and colour to the human figure conjuring the approach of warm beach days at the onset of the Australian Summer.

Along with that comes the surrendering of clothing and the welcoming of the elements on bare skin. People embrace a more colourful palette and figures bend or stretch out on beach towels or are met and buoyed by bodies of water.

Each painting has an element of paper collage subtly used for pattern or textured effect as well as adding soft hues of blue to the painted surface. All paintings come ready to hang in a modern style pine box frame
