Up until recently, I worked and taught within TAFE in the fine art, disability and graphic design schools, and was employed in various galleries curating exhibitions. I have continued to teach from time to time, but now enjoy the luxury of finally devoting my time to painting in my studio at Rhyll, Phillip Island.
My work is represented in private collections, restaurants and galleries locally, nationally and internationally including New Zealand, London, Europe, Canada and America.

My paintings visually reflect on the Arcadian ambience of the coastal landscape, and the Australian identity with the land and the beach. Australia is a wonderful country and I find it interesting how we interact with nature and the various four seasons. I like to put a feeling of adventure history and narrative in my paintings Often I title the works to tie in with music.
