Your 'Dream Teacher' painting of David is stunning. Having known David for years, I am amazed at how much your swirls of spirit and sound around him are so true to his passion, energy for and ability to play beautiful cello music, and to express his spirit through this awesome instrument. You have captured this so well. It is rich with spirit and truly beautiful.

My husband and I were fortunate to acquire one of the signature paintings in the Flow series, Ballet has been a large part of my life, and Sean's painting captures the romance and beauty of what it feels like to dance. We love it so much, my study in our new home has been designed around its colour and feel....Dance of the dragon flies also has a life of her own, the colours change as the light in the study changes....a truly magnificent piece of art that will be part of our family's collection for generations to come.

Dear Sean
I have been searching the net for a suitable art teacher for the next Camp
Creative, I was so taken by your work, the movement, expression, honesty and
presence of Spirit was inspiring, I just loved it.
thank you

Within the "Faces and Places" gallery of this magnificent website you can see a drawing entitled "The Three Of Us". I commissioned Sean to create this drawing of myself, my son Daniel and his dog Chewy. When Sean presented this drawing to me I had it framed and it now sits proudly in my lounge room at home.This drawing holds a special meaning for my son Daniel and myself.To us it captures the love between us (father and son) and the love of man's best friend (my son's dog). It captures the joy of coming together after time spent apart between father and son and the hopes and dreams for the future. It also speaks of the constant companionship of a boy and his dog.

My daughter and I now have a collection of his work from wood cuts, through pastels to oils and each one is arresting, imaginative and a pleasure to experience. The dancer hangs in the hall of my holiday cottage and brings gasps from visitors every time. For sheer imagination it is hard to beat and the execution is perfect.As does the wood cut face of my daughter.
I believe the truly clever thing about Sean's work is his ability to translate his imagination onto canvas with emotion and originality. I have watched the reaction of visitors to his work which hangs in my Bed & Breakfast and each one comments on these attributes.

Your paintings are beyond words. They truly come from a divine place. I feel so blessed to have Grace in my bedroom, which is my sanctuary and sacred space. When I awaken in the mornings, I open my eyes and bathe in the beauty and magnificence of Grace. I am always reminded of how much divinty and movement there is in stillness. Thank you. Your paintings are truly a gift to us all.

I am absolutely delighted with Relaxing In The Moment.
I wanted something special for my daughter as a gift for getting her degree in the summer of 2007. My daughter, Louise,is also a keen musician and plays the Saxophone. With a trip to Australia planned I searched the net for artists around the area I was travelling to and was so impressed with Sean's work when I came across the site. Relaxing In The Moment was completd especially for her and shipped to England. During our time in Australia we stayed at the Benbellen Alpaca farm in Hannan Vale where more of Seans work is on display and later managed to visit Byron Bay and enjoy further pieces at his home. Visions of outstanding work now have me considering further purchases. A fantastic talent and I am sure there will be further gems to follow

I am the proud owner of several of Sean's works. My favourite is the grasstree trip-tych, "Endlessly", which has stunning colours. The paintings bring me immense pleasure and visitors frequently comment on how beautiful they are. Keep up the great work Sean!

Hi Sean, I just wanted to tell you how much I love my painting "Anastasia' my beautiful musician. Whenever I look at her I feel a deep joy and peace. I love the rich colours, the allure and the movement the painting conveys.Its like she is giving an invitation to come and 'play' or enter her world. Visitors always comment.
Sean, continue to inspire!

I wanted to tell you how much I love "Flow" hanging up in my living room. This painting has imbued my living room with such beautiful soft feminine grace. I feel blessed. I now look forward to buying one of your original works sometime. What a wonderful opportunity, to be able to share with others the joy and beauty I experience from your work. I've just put myself down on your art update mailing list, so I look forward to discovering new work and hearing about any imminent exhibitions!
I'll be keeping an eye on your website!

Dear Sean,

Your painting "Lantern Dancers" has become a source of inspiration to my family. The texture and warmth which exudes from the canvas creates a focal point in my lounge room and has brought joy to everyone who enters the space. Thank-you for capturing the essence of dance, so that it may be shared by everyone.

Sean has inspired my life in so many ways, his work is powerful and passionate. I often have the image of his Grass Trees painting in my head when I'm creating a new song. So many of Sean's paintings have moved me and helped my own creativity. Thanks for your amazing images, your work is just beautiful.

My partner and I were fortunate enough to purchase the painting 'The Flutist' a couple of years ago from the Musical Heartbeats series. It now takes pride of place in our livingroom. Like all of sean's paintings it has a magical ethereal quality, a wistfulness that captures the creative spirit of the musician. My partner was particularly attracted to it as she played flute in her younger days. We are very greatful to have in our midsts a sample of Sean's amazing creativity and spirit.

I purchased a wonderful piece of Art from Sean for my partner Kylie, She loves it! And now “The Blue Butterfly” is proudly hanging on our dining room wall. We have been flooded with comments and offers regarding this special painting. Sean is a very intuitive artist and there is an air of mystery with his works that captures real beauty.
