I’ve been threatening to interview you for a long time and
always get distracted, but
I just saw another painting
on Instagram and thought
right now is the time before
another year goes by. You’re
from Australia but occasionally make it to New York and
your take on the city is amazing. Your New York paintings
are amazing. What is it about
New York that works for you?
It’s the overall energy of it, i
think. I try explaining this to
people often. I think people
who live there or have spent
time there understand. I’ve
traveled a bit and there really is
no place like it.
What brought you to Bushwick, Brooklyn to paint?
I come back to NYC to touch
base with friends and the gallery I’m working with. Bushwick
has a lot of studios, cool bars
and people to offer so I based
myself here. It also has a distinct smell - which just drew me
in. Haha. Thats a joke.
At the moment I see you
have work at the Woodward
Gallery in NYC, do they show
