When I’m not painting, the thing I do for relaxation is to snorkel for abalone and crayfish on the shallow reefs of south east Tasmania with my friends and family. We have a big cook up on the open fire afterwards. Truth is I’m not the best shell -fish gatherer. Underwater, I’m forever distracted by all the beautiful colours, patterns and textures down there and forget all about collecting dinner. It was just a matter of time, I suppose, before this wonderous aquatic world found its way into my paintings.
