Seed Pods, Shadows & Lanterns
I have been continuing to explore the themes of Shadow & Light in my charcoal drawings, based on observations of my local environment.. although it is becoming familiar, this is still a new & foreign environment in the UAE.... My attention has been drawn to the details.. there are no vast Australian landscapes withing easy reach from here! Shadows of plants & leaves, Arabic Lanterns and Seed Pods have so far caught my attention.

A selection of these works will be included in my two forthcoming exhibitions. My solo show 'Shadow & Light' will be held at
Flinders Lane Gallery, Melbourne, October 8-26 2013.
I will also be exhibiting in a series of exhibitions with a group of expat professional artists at The Fairmont Bab Al Bahr, Abu Dhabi, under the title 'No White Walls', from September 15th for 4 months .
