A striking calmness held within a minimal palette. Beneath the white surface veil, subtle pink and green iridescent pigments emerge from the early layers — shifting gently with light and movement.

A wonderful afternoon at @galleryjenningskerr toda

A wonderful afternoon at @galleryjenningskerr today, celebrating five years.

It was so special to see such an abundance of work brought together — a reflection of the incredibly considered and diverse stable of artists James has built over these past five years. So many individual voices, practices and perspectives, yet such a strong sense of connection across the gallery.

A heartfelt thank you to James and Sarah for your continued support, guidance and belief in my work. It means a great deal to have my practice represented with such care and consideration, and to be part of what you continue to build at Jennings Kerr.

Congratulations on five years 🌟 5 🌟

August means SALA Festival across South Australia

August means SALA Festival across South Australia — a month-long celebration of living artists and the opportunity to discover work in galleries, studios and unexpected places right across the state.

Living in the Barossa Valley, I’m delighted to have these paintings included in the group exhibition Terra Mirus at @wondergroundbarossa , Seppeltsfield.

Exhibition Opening: 6pm - 8pm, 7 August 2026

These works are a quiet reflection on the landscape that surrounds me. Rather than depicting a particular place, they respond to the rhythm of the seasons and the subtle shifts that occur across the land. The warmth of ‘After the Harvest’ reflects the golden stillness that follows vintage, while ‘Ground of Plenty’ speaks to the renewal that emerges as the landscape returns to life.

Shown together, the paintings explore the quiet cycle of abundance, rest and renewal that unfolds year after year. The landscape is always changing, yet always enduring—a gentle reminder that life is fleeting, the people we share it with are precious, and every season is worth embracing.

If you’re exploring @salafestival this month, I’d love you to visit Terra Mirus at Wonderground Gallery.
