Black Cockatoo Ed. 1 of 50

This Black Cockatoo was part of the Triple Treat exhibition held in early 2018 at the Old Schoolhouse Gallery in Cleveland Queensland Australia. The original source photo was taken by Phill Robinson, and also interpreted into a contemporary painting by his wife- May Sheppard. My job was to interpret it into a black-and-white linocut. We hung the work together, which allowed the audience to explore how the different mediums conveying the same image affected their interpretation and experience of that image.

Born and raised in Africa, we moved to Australia to raise our family.
I have studied art formally and have honed my craft over the last 30 plus years. I teach workshops, and have been invited to local private, and state high schools as a subject specialist for arts incursions.
I currently work in printmaking, fabric printing / textile art, painting, ceramics, and keep busy teaching various workshops and exhibiting my art.
I have broad and varied interests and these can vary wildly from the serious to the absurd. This also means that I work in a number of mediums and a number of styles, although I am best known for my emotive linocuts.
I tend to throw myself into whatever concept taken my interest at a particular point in time, and this is a major driver of my innovation, and "cross-mojo-nation" of techniques, concepts, methods, styles, and materials.
I have spent COVID curating a small gallery and engaging with many different artists. Now that covid is over, I have let go of the gallery to focus on my own arts practice once more.
