Born Sydney, NSW Australia 1971
Lives & works in the Blue Mountains National Park, NSW, Australia
A lifetime of travelling and living in Australian and New Zealand bushland, countryside, and several years in the
Big Smoke, has had a deep impact on me, my love of nature and the fascination I have for its many creatures
(human and otherwise). The paintings I produce are a kind of instinctive homage to these precious lands that I hold
so dear, and a life lived colourful; while the drawings are an indulgence for my love for spontaneous character
invention. Although the style and themes of my drawings and paintings may come out very differently, the intuitive
process I engage to produce them is the same; subjects have been conjured from my imagination and sense of what
feels right according to memories, intuition and my own rather warped sense of humour. Melancholy, movement, fine
rendering and the absurd all feature.
