Artist statement

For me the Australian Landscape is a source of great peace and joy. I love to paint the colours and textures of this vast and ancient continent. The way in which we look after and nurture the land is going to be of vital importance in ensuring world peace. Global Warming threatens our environments and our resources. We must preserve our wonderful landscapes for future generations and for future world stability.

对我来说澳洲的景观就像是和平与喜悦的原始地。我喜欢在我的画中表现这个巨大而古老大地的颜色和纹理。这就像是我们照顾和培育大地让它成为世界和平的要素。全球暖化威胁到我们的环境和资源。我们必须维护环境，才能创造一个更美好的未来的
