At present:
From a very young age I knew my life would take an Artistic direction and here I am, with no formal art training, just incorporating my deep appreciation for visual aesthetics into my life and of course... my ART.

Now I am living in Daylesford and in the final year of a Bachelor of Fine Arts, majoring in Ceramics. This is an exciting time for me because I am producing a body of work with a coherent theme, expressing my long standing belief that opposing opposites and their dynamic interplay are continually working towards a harmonious whole.

This element of soulful self expression that usually classifies 'Fine Art' as distinct from 'Commercial Design' is a calling that requires a large leap of faith, but experience has proven to me that this is my true journey. Those of you who may choose to follow my blog will be informed of my up and coming exhibition and the process of working towards this goal.

I have been a professional practicing Artist for the best part of 30 years. During this time I have been engaged in various aspects of Art / Design including: Graphic Design / Illustrator / Promotional Design and Mural Painter.

The skill set I have developed allows me to appreciate and respect the diversity and magnificence of human life and a communication bond that constantly inspires me. I have developed the ability to visualise and conceive works within strict coherent guidelines,'Limited Palette'. With my foundation of printmaking, I have a fundamental understanding of media applications, this has become intrinsic to my design process as now, with the incorporation of computer technology.

Currently in final year of a BA Fine Arts at Ballarat University.
