I live on the east coast of Australia between the city of Brisbane and a small town in the Tweed Heads region.

For over two decades I have worked as a full-time artist, exploring various media including painting, digital design, and ceramics.

In 1993, I completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts at the majoring in printmaking, followed by a career in graphic design and teaching Arts in tertiary education.

I am at heart an observer of my natural surroundings.

I’m attuned to the cycles of life within landscapes and the repercussions humanity has on the natural world. 

My work goes beyond creating what I see; rather, I strive to tell a story that reflects the intricate relationships of life. 

I like to think that even though I explore the melancholy and devastation of life’s mortality, I also honour all the beautiful moments that are within the environment. 

My intention is to capture the details of transformation and impermanency, so that they are not forgotten. This may be as simple as observing the life in my own garden, or on regular walks within my beloved beach-scape; grappling with the big issues of environmental impacts across Australia; or personally with the emotional consequences of illness and disease that comes to those you love. I focus also on the macro details  of the landscape and express my concepts using colour and texture as the main elements to convey these stories.

I exhibited throughout Australia, my most recent solo exhibition, ‘Anthropocene’ was at Boom Gallery, in Geelong, Victoria.
