I am a self taught artist who has also worked at Walt Disney Animation at the Sydney Studios.
I enjoy experimenting in all medium and study many styles of art I just love to sketch, paint and draw and explore. My style is influence by many sources and I am an avid collector of art books and resources. My wife says we have a library at home.
I take after my grandfather who was a traditional chinese watercolourist and I am inspired by going to the same High School as Brett Whiteley, The Scots School Bathurst.
I am heavily influenced by the Australian and European Impressionist and I excel at figurative and landscapes. I grew up in country NSW and I am inspired by the Australian landscape. I now live on the NSW South Coast and enjoy the beautiful coast of Australia with the beach literally at my doorstep.
My artists of influence include Rembrandt, Degas, Rodin, Brett Whiteley, Arthur Streeton, Ben Quilty and Van Gogh. Too many to list but here are a few.
The mediums I use include graphite, acrylic, charcoal, oil, pastel and watercolour mediums.
I have won many awards at art shows.
