Story
Welcome to Exploring Light!
This is Kelvin. I’m a visual artist living below the Great Western Tiers in Tasmania, Australia.
My creativity is influenced by the natural world, research, philosophy, and many artists. I work at developing a creative consciousness through contemplation, writing, and photography.
My images may be figurative or abstract, drawing on natural, human and built environments, expressing the beauty yet the paradoxical balance between light and dark, order and chaos, and simplicity and complexity.
