I started painting cows in 2000 after a meaningful chat with a Friesian in a paddock near Mullumbimby, New South Wales, Australia. We (me and the cow,) bonded over a barbed wire fence. She snorted sweet breaths at me through her velvety nostrils as a globule of spittle dangled from her whiskery chin. I determined then that I would paint her and one cow painting led to another.

Living in Queensland, and travelling through a lot of countrysides, I am never short of a willing model. Peering over a five bar gate or the atypical barbed wire fence, the inquisitive cows are always keen to provide a snort and a dribble at the camera lens.does my bum look good

I work from a pretty awesome studio on my property. I can often be found out and about photographing cows. Also, I am given tip-offs by friends and customers who have spotted some good ones. Each cow has a totally unique personality and this is something I try to capture in each painting, and I do prefer to think of my cow paintings as portraits, since showcasing it’s personality whilst exploring their colour and texture is my focus.

AND, now, I have also available my COW BRONZE!!

Based on this painting “Does My Bottom Look Big In This?”, created a couple of years ago!

My beautiful bronze cow simply resonates quirk and positivity…. Here’s a few snaps of her….
