CHARAIVETI
Life is a journey made one step at a time. Buddha told his disciples, “charaiveti, charaiveti” – keep moving, keep moving. Whatever the circumstances, the nature of existence is that you have to keep moving and as you progress through life the landscape will change.

BURLEIGH BEACH COCKATOO
It rains a lot on the Gold Coast but we also get amazing cloud formations – from black storm clouds with a bright sun shining underneath to big white puffy clouds with a blue sky in the background. Beautiful white, slightly yellow sandy beaches, river inlets, a curved coastline, hills close by and a range of magnificent wildlife.

COURTSHIP
My thoughts are that the essence of flirting is hardwired into our neurology. All living creatures are driven by their sexual energy and all human societies have put systems and structures in place such as marriage and dress codes as a means to control and regulate the expression of the sexual energy. In this painting I wanted to symbolise the flirting between two weird and wonderful characters in a land far far away and free from the constraints of society.

EXPLORATION
As I work on a piece of art I often find myself thinking of all the possible variations that I could do – all with the aim to create some form of unattainable perfection. As an artist I think the exploration process is more important than the finished artwork. My hope is that this artwork will encourage the viewer to explore themself in some way or another towards the next best version of themselves.

HAND OF GOD
In moments of extreme adversity it is not unusual for people to call upon God, and in that moment make a deep connection with Him, and yet in fact God is always ready and willing to listen and lend a helping hand – as long as you should clearly state your present situation and your desired outcome.

MYSTERY OF LIFE
What gets me, is that for all the knowledge that we attain, is that we have a witnessing consciousness – that is aware that we are not the mind, the body or the emotions – that we are just a dispassionate observer – an awareness. This consciousness – this awareness of life and of being – is such a mystery. That is what I think when I look at this painting.

PATERNAL CARE
When I paint I don’t really know what it is that I plan to create. All I know is that I have a feeling and once I am able to express that feeling on paper with a pencil then I can begin the process of building a 3D structure with a fountain pen and charcoal. I then finish the rendering proccess in Photoshop.

POLITICS
Politics is the process of communicating to people in order to negotiate agreements between groups of people. So we have people of different political orientations with different values doing all the talking and making decisions that affect us and we the people are never really sure who is running the show.

TEAMWORK
This artwork reminds me of a parable that I heard years ago. There is a blind man who is fit and strong – and there is another man who has eyes with legs that are not functional. So they decide to team up – and the blind man lifts the man without legs onto his back. They are then able to walk and travel the world together. This parable is a metaphor for the heart and the mind collaborating and working in unison.

TRANSCENDENCE
It can be easy to get caught up in the matrix of thoughts which present themselves in the cinema of your mind - but with the understanding that you are a pure witnessing consciousness - that you are a dispassionate observer then you can learn to transcend the mundane and reach to higher levels of consciousness and discover, access and mobilise the wondrous resources that existence gave to you with this life.
