This is a painting of a rainforest Fig Tree growing on Tamborine Mountain near my home. It illustrates how effectively nature uses its environment and draws on the available nutrients and landscape to flourish to is full potential. Nature can be seen doing this even in the harshest the conditions. I see this as an analogy to our lives, we use what is provided in our environment from our parents, our home, our schools, our teachers, our work places and our friends to make the very best of our lives - to flourish. I am known for my realistic still life pictures, leaf paintings and landscapes.

My paintings are inspired by the world around her, from which I capture the beauty surrounding us all as a reminder to cherish our world and that small changes, when done by many people can make a huge impact on our planets health.
