Being recognised among Bluethumb’s Top 50 artists was a significant moment in my career as an Australian landscape painter.
Bluethumb is one of Australia’s largest online art platforms, connecting collectors with original Australian art from artists across the country. To be named among the top 50 artists on the platform placed my work within the top 1% of Bluethumb artists Australia-wide.
For me, this recognition is not only about sales or visibility. It is a quiet marker of the years spent developing a painting practice centred on atmosphere, weather, stillness and emotional connection to landscape.
My work has always returned to the sky. I grew up watching storms gather and change, and that sense of weather has stayed with me. In my oil paintings, clouds, trees, roads and open land become ways of exploring solitude, resilience and the calm that follows difficult weather.
As a contemporary Australian landscape artist based in Queensland, I paint landscapes that are not simply descriptive. They are shaped by memory, mood and the feeling of standing within a place as light shifts across it.
Being included in Bluethumb’s Top 50 artists was a reminder that quiet, atmospheric painting can still find a strong connection with collectors. Many of my original landscape paintings now hang in homes across Australia and overseas, chosen for their sense of calm, depth and presence.
This recognition forms part of a broader studio practice that continues across my own website, selected galleries, exhibitions, commissions and Australian art platforms. Whether a painting is large and dramatic or small and intimate, the focus remains the same: weather, stillness, distance, and the quiet emotional life of the landscape.
