I was born in 1932 and educated in the part of Yugoslavia, which is now Croatia. I emigrated from the UK to Australia in my late twenties, living in Sydney from 1959 to 1970, when I moved to Melbourne pursuing a business career. In the mid sixties I continue painting and exhibited in Sydney., but due to family and business commitments stopped painting for the next twenty years. However, I continued my involvement in art by working in the art & craft of stained glass. At the end of 1990 I took an early retirement and committed myself to full time painting.
I mainly paint in oil, although I have also done a considerable amount of work in charcoal, pastel, acrylics, as well as in mixed media. My latest works done over the last couple of years are done mainly by using oxide pigments mixed with acrylic polymer binder. My subjects vary from nudes, to portraits and faces, and to landscapes, from representational to abstract expressionist works.
