You’ll find the Nexus Gallery nestled in the historical Old Butter Factory complex. It is run solely by volunteers and is an important exhibition and gathering place for local artists and friends.
The Nexus Community Gallery hosts four members’ group shows each year, one of which is the Members’ Art Prize. The remainder of the year the gallery features month-long exhibitions by solo artists or groups of artists.
There are two exhibition spaces: The Main Gallery and The Studio.

I would describe my work as improvisatory, with the primary aim of arriving at a convincing resolution of the many elements which form parts of the making of a piece of visual art. For me, this means the final work must be autonomous, not reliant on verbal explanation or obvious visual associations with reality as we comprehend it. I am most happy for a viewer to place their own interpretation, or find their own associations, in a piece of work. The pictorial language I use is sourced from my observations of the natural world: its infinite array of patterns, markings, textures, colour, tone and light. In more recent work, I am conscious of trying to find visual equivalents for my growing awareness of the fragility of life, the constant shifting and changing of, well, everything, both human-mediated and natural, and the impermanence of all human arrangements.

Recently, I have enjoyed creating works in acrylics and inks, in my own unique style. These works feature in this exhibition which celebrates landscapes from Walcha on the New England Tablelands where I live, to Bellingen and beyond to the coastline. I feel a strong connection to both places.
I love to use bright colours and rich texture, using spatulas, brushes and various types of cloths, sponges and ink applicators to apply the paint and ink to the canvas or paper. Free and bold use of colour and texture is characteristic of my work. I hope you enjoy my exhibition
