Puppet Artist

Bob is a French puppet who comes to life on the streets of Quimper in Brittany, France. Dressed in a sailor’s shirt and a scarf to keep out the chill, he greets children, lifts his quill, dips it into ink, and begins to paint. Time seems to pause, adults watch in quiet fascination, while the youngest stand wide-eyed and speechless. Some, gathering their courage, timidly wave back. Behind the strings is Raphaël Gromy, a puppeteer who delights in street performance.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my work!
I'm an artist based on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, where I create in a variety of styles and mediums. My practice is rooted in a love for vibrant colour and expressive form, spanning from quirky naïve art and linocut prints to abstract works, portraits, surrealism, and impressionism. I work primarily with acrylics, oils, and rich oil pastels, allowing each piece to come to life with its own unique energy and personality.
