Alan is an artist living in Yass who has been interested in art, craft and design since childhood. These interests have steered his study choices and working life of teaching, gallery retailing and graphic designing.

He mostly paints with oils, creating compositions from his own photography and sketches. He varies his subject matter; however, his underlying efforts have been in developing strong composition: exploring formal aspects of art such as geometry, perspective and colour composition.

Alan has exhibited at Tyger Gallery, Tuggeranong Art Centre, Belconnen Art Centre, Strathnairn Gallery and the South Gallery near Goulburn. He has been a finalist at the Caleen Art Award.

“Earth, stone, paths, tracks, rivers and creeks are elements in landscape: Represented abstractly in painting as lines, shapes, colours and textures. I’ve painted three tracks on a textured ground. In my mind, these were to be like 3 notes making a single chord. I’ve used brush and knife and the background has been reworked so textures from underpainting appear as weathering.”
