Artwork Description

This painting portrays a familiar aspect of Sydney life. As one of the main roads from the CBD to the suburbs, the Anzac Bridge is a departure point for those returning home as well as the gateway for those entering the city. The sunset beyond the bridge is often stunning but it's seldom noticed by commuters anxious to get home. The strong diagonals of the suspension system immediately identifies this as the Anzac Bridge.

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.
