Just as musicians are sensitive to sounds, for me, as a visual artist, it is an aesthetic sense, an extra sensitivity to design, colour, and balance. 

Inspiration is sometimes quite a mystery. However, in my case, it is drawn from a myriad of life experiences, optimism, personal observations, and travel, all combined with a zest for life.

Painting is a balancing act as I shift between different mediums and genres, encompassing diverse themes, compositions, and techniques.

My work has a skeleton of drawing whatever it is. Colour skills, stylistic techniques, and a narrative of sorts all morph to achieve creative clarity, evoking a mood, a sense of place, and the intrinsic nature of the moment.

In the early nineties, I began collaborating with art licensing agents in Australia and the United States. For decades, my images and designs have appeared on a range of merchandise in Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia.

My passion for art goes back to my early childhood, which I spent on a remote farming property near Old Junee, NSW, Australia. Due to the isolation, I spent hours drawing and painting during those years.  

I completed my secondary education at Wagga High School in the sixties and then studied Business Studies at Wagga Commercial College. I later studied Fashion (Drafting and Design) and Fine Art in Sydney (Associate Diploma in Fine Art).

In the early seventies, I spent time in London and Europe, working, travelling, and immersing myself in the zeitgeist of the era. I later lived and worked in Mallorca in the Balearic Islands for several years. Each of these locations—London, Europe, and Mallorca—offered vibrant experiences during that time, significantly shaping my creativity and lifestyle. Mallorca remains my favourite escape.

My paint and print studios are located in Avalon on Sydney's Northern Beaches, where I create new artworks and produce high-quality giclée prints on canvas and fine art paper. These are available for purchase in my online shop. www.artprintsaustralia.com.au

I currently have a selection of my latest original work for sale in Avalon, ART GALLERY ON AVALON BEACH, 2/17-19 Old Barrenjoey Road, Avalon Beach, 2107.
