FINE ART
Painting has always been a personal creative outlet. After many years working in design and photography, I've returned to oil painting with a renewed focus on developing my artistic practice. My work explores human emotion, identity and the natural world, often drawing on personal experiences and the places that have shaped my life.
Magpie is my debut novel, inspired by a visit to Port Arthur that stayed with me long after I left. Standing within the walls of the Separate Prison, I found myself wondering not about the crimes recorded in history, but about the lives that were never fully told.Set against the convict era of Van Diemen's Land, Magpie follows Samuel Walker, a young English shopkeeper wrongfully convicted and transported to Port Arthur. Confined to enforced silence within the Separate Prison, Samuel forms an unlikely connection with David Morgan, a fellow prisoner held across the corridor. Unable to speak, the two men exchange secret messages through the walls with the help of an unexpected messenger.What begins as a means of survival grows into a profound story of friendship, love, resilience, and hope. Spanning decades and drawing inspiration from real historical events, Magpie explores the quiet acts of defiance that allow people to hold onto their humanity, even in the darkest of places.At its heart, Magpie is a story about love that refuses to be erased, and the extraordinary lengths the human heart will go to simply be known.
