A commission is a newly created artwork by the artist, that is based on the clients vision - its a collaboration if you like, that brings to life new art that is unique to you. Sometimes a client might like a painting in a collection release but it's the wrong size...
In short, the collection is a spontaneous journey led by the spirit of the landscape; the sunlight that filters through the eucalyptus trees and the smell of the air after a tropical storm. It is a reflection the past, the colours of the present, and an optimistic outlook for the future...
My earliest memories of being interested in art are from when I was a small child and my mum invented a ‘busy bag’ for me, that I could take with me everywhere I went. The sketchbooks were bent and the zipper wouldn’t shut with all the papers, pencils, crayons and textas - lids off, dried out of course!
