G’day, and thanks for coming.

People call me Lewi. I’m a born-and-raised Tasmanian, happily living in Hobart with my wife and two lovely—yet ratbag—kids.

My artistic endeavours are currently focused on painting a prehistoric Tasmanian landscape, imagining an age long before humanity.

I’m passionate about the Tasmanian wilderness—both the majestic landscapes and the remarkable creatures that call it home. Through my artwork, I aim to raise awareness of endangered species and our fragile wild places.

For almost a decade, I’ve walked a meandering path through the visual arts—using a variety of mediums and approaches, with a few chapters of reinvention.

Photography (2017–2021)

I bought my first camera while travelling overseas. At the time, I was simply trying to document my travels—but I caught the bug. Photography soon became a serious creative pursuit, and it pushed me to explore the remote landscapes of this rugged island. While bushwalking, I developed a deeper connection to nature. For that, I’ll always be grateful.

Drawing (2021–2025)

When my daughter was born, I took up a creative hobby I could do from home—drawing. Teaching myself to draw was a humbling experience. A mountain of ugly sketchbooks later, I still fail at the drawing board regularly, but pushing through those failures is giving me the foundation to start creating more imaginative work.

Painting (2025 - Now)

My focus is now on reimagining Tasmania’s ancient wilderness—painting the environment as it may have been millions of years ago.

This is an imaginative exercise, however, I’m attempting to use my photography and visual memories of the wilderness to create paintings that remain grounded in reality.

There is a bewildering sense of deep time on this island. It is hidden among the mountains, forests and shorelines. This is the magic I am attempting to capture in my paintings.

It’s early days in my painting journey, but I’m excited for where it might lead.

Thanks very much for visiting.

Lewi.
