Artwork Description

The artist employs a precise, realistic style, giving the piece a photographic quality. The harmonious blend of bold colors and meticulous detail makes this painting visually arresting, inviting viewers to ponder the stories and histories concealed behind the vibrant facade. The interplay between exterior tranquility and implied interior activity establishes a captivating dual narrative.

A finalist in the UniSQ Biennial 2026.

Artist Bio

I loved to draw and paint from a very early age. I was fascinated by the capability of artists to bring to life the world around them; to represent form, light and shade; to create three dimensions within two.

Simultaneously I was drawn to photography. From my earliest self-processed black and white prints to the sophistication of modern digital manipulation, I have always taken pictures.

In my professional life I established and ran successful creative businesses in London, Luxembourg, Malaga, Berlin and Sydney. I held senior roles in prominent design practices and advertising agencies, including the creative directorship of Europe's first online service.

More recently I taught design at universities and design schools in Sydney, Australia and Southern Spain with particular focus upon sustainable design thinking, human-centred design and developing successful design practice.

I began my career as a junior illustrator in London. It's therefore appropriate that with more time on my hands these days I should return to my first love.
