I am an Australian artist and work in all media, my favourites being watercolour, charcoal, pastel, graphite and pen and ink.
I have been involved in art for all of my life in some form or another. I am primarily self taught but have formal tertiary qualifications in ‘Design Fundamentals’, which I used to gain entry into a Visual Arts Degree at Western Sydney University. I have had experience in design and publishing of small publications and have worked as an animator for Hanna-Barbera, Burbank Studios and Disney.
My graphite portrait work has been chosen from hundreds of artists worldwide to appear in the hardcover book ‘Art Journey - Portraits and Figures’, an international publication produced by the American publisher, North Light Books. I was also invited to be a signature member of the Artists for Conservation (AFC), one of the world's leading artist groups supporting the environment. I was a featured artist in the May edition of The Australian Artist Magazine, and my work was chosen to appear in Splash 21, published by Peak Productions in the United States . My work was chosen to appear on the cover of "The Best of Watercolor USA" . I have also been published in the French publication "The Art of Watercolour."
I have won numerous prizes for my work in many art shows over the years. I have been fortunate enough to win awards every year since I started exhibiting in 2012.
A large part of my current work is being driven by our endangered wildlife and their habitats. As with all my work, I try to convey emotion through expression and composition. My goal is to communicate this to the viewer, to share my experience with others.
I love painting and drawing people and animals amongst other subjects and I welcome commissions for portraits or any subject you would like. I work from my studio in Sydney NSW, and am happy to accept commissions in watercolour, graphite, charcoal , pastel or pen and ink.
