Artist Statement

Winter Camping along the Mann River deep in the Gibralter Rangers I set the scene: The crisp morning air bites your throat, volume and power of the river flows, bird songs turn my head as the sunlight starts its glow.

The gum trees dripping, frosted grass crushes under foot with the river stones sparkling how could you not be hooked.
