I am an artist from the North Coast of New South Wales. I gained teaching qualifications from the University of Wollongong and for many years I taught intellectually and physically disabled children. I won the Rockdale art award when I was 12‚ at the time I was being tutored by now well-known Australian artist Pamela Griffiths. I continued to study art on a part time basis at East Sydney Technical College and in the last few years I have been tutored by many artists such as David Fairburn‚ Rodney Black‚ Angus McDonald, and Tony Smibert.
I've recently refreshed my art qualifications by completing a Diploma of Art through London Art College., as well as a certificate of Botanical Art through Newcastle University
In 2018 I was a studio artist for the Ballina Shire council, and this concluded with a month long exhibition in the Northern Rivers Community Gallery.
I have been teaching private students for 14 years. I have taught and studied painting overseas and I travel and study at every opportunity.
I have exhibited widely and had several solo exhibitions and many joint exhibitions.
Over the last three years I've had three solo exhibitions and studied woodblock carving in Japan.
