G’day, and thanks for coming.

My name is Lewi. I am a painter, illustrator, Dad and Husband. I’ve had a lifelong admiration of art and creativity - in all its forms.

I’m a born and raised Tasmanian, happily living in Hobart with my wife and two kids.

My current artistic focus is on depicting a prehistoric Tasmanian wilderness. There is a baffling sense of deep time on this island. I’ve felt it within the mountains, coasts and forests.

My paintings aim to depict the eternal dance of atmosphere and light, and how these fleeting moments reveal the landscape. I’ve been fortunate to witness incredible displays of nature in the wilds of Tasmania. The grandeur of these rare moments has inspired me to pursue a life of art and adventure.

Through my artwork, I’m hoping to offer a glimpse into what Tasmania’s ancient wilderness may have been. Both the majestic landscapes, and the remarkable creatures that once called Tasmania home. During extended expeditions into the most remote areas, I’ve deepened my appreciation for the wildlife that once thrived in this raw, untamed ancient landscape.

Although modern day Tasmania is home to a range of beautiful animals, maintaining this biodiversity is a big challenge. Tasmania is one of the last remaining intact temperate wildernesses on Earth, harbouring many species of animals that exist nowhere else.

Through my work, I aim to raise awareness of endangered species and fragile wild places. Contributing to land and wildlife conservation through my art will be a central focus of my future endeavours.

It’s early days in my painting journey, but I’m excited to see where it leads.

Thanks very much for visiting.

Lewi.
