Biography

I focus on the present state of mind when faced with a blank canvas, trying not to allow any preconceived form and logic to my approach, instead allow the inner feel and conditionality of the present moment in time to dictate my approach to painting. Colours are mixed together and everything is constantly changing.

I use a combination of handcrafted tools and brushes to achieve the desired effect with multilayered structures and compositions.  

 With over forty five years of participation in art, I have seen how the effects of human expansion and lifestyle have transformed our environment and thus provide me with much inspiration in the way I approach my painting.

Education and Training

I am a self-taught artist who began painting and exhibiting my artwork at the age of 20. As the years went by, I took numerous private art classes with some of South Australia's most distinguished professional artists to deepen my understanding of color, composition, and the use of different mediums.

To keep my passion for art alive, I also engage in group discussions with various professional art communities. These discussions are a constant source of inspiration and motivation for me. Through these experiences, I continued to refine my skills and grow as an artist.

Exhibitions

In the early years in Adelaide, I held solo exhibitions that were highly successful. However, I eventually shifted my focus to pursue a career in Architecture, which caused me to put my art on hold for many years.

Recently, I have been reinvigorated by a renewed passion for art and have decided to rekindle my natural gift. I am committed to continuing this journey and pursuing my artistic aspirations into the future.
