I am a multidisciplinary creative residing on the fringes of Lake Macquarie in the beautiful hunter region of NSW.  As an artist I approach my subjects with as few pre-conceived notions as possible.  My strong discipline in Darkroom Photography allows me an element of honesty in all my works whether in print , paint or sculptural form. This practiced intention and intuition brings the depth and innate consideration I strive for to suggest life beyond the frame.

​

Raised in a small village and moving closer to the town of Bathurst in my teens, I would in time make my escape. Spending my young adult years travelling through Europe, doing what all Aussies did in the Eighties and work- save- travel- repeat.  Eventually though I did return home to raise a family and run a bookkeeping business.

Skip ahead too many years to mention and my life as it was had shifted and I was ready for a change.  The yearning to put into practice my intrinsic need to create had become the crux to my future. Graduating in 2017 from the University of Newcastle with a Degree in Fine Arts, I have been hitting the ground running ever since.

​

My work reflects my life as it was and in the present. It becomes a desire to connect with other people in some way, to tell them about myself and/or share each other experiences. What I look for in a project needs to resonate with life not only as I see it but also the interesting and personal viewpoint that the viewer shares. But more importantly I make art because I enjoy the process, and the exhilaration it allows.

​

Timing is everything and I believe that wherever you are in your life, you should always be ready to work hard and take pride in whatever the task at hand may be and right now I am where I need to be, doing what I want to do and loving every minute of it.
