Growing up in regional NSW in a creative family inspired a life long love of art and creativity in all its forms. Leaving this environment in the early 1980s, I embarked on travelling to, living in and experiencing myriad places within Australia, Asia and Europe. Immersing myself within various cultures, communities and landscapes allowed me to develop my creativity, working along side and learning from local artists.
Living on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia since 2003, and with my family grown, I undertook and completed a degree in Visual Arts.
