Portraits

Richly textured, these portraits incorporate materials including garden soil, beach sand, photographs of city buildings and Melbourne's Botanic Gardens, and news clippings of current events. Textures of place, time and memory reflect the depth of experience of both sitter and artist. They are a celebration of humanity.
