Background
I was born in the Melbourne suburb of Oakleigh, Victoria and currently live in rural Gippsland where I work from the peaceful surrounds of my home studio. I have been a practising artist for the past ten years working across a variety of media. My preferred medium is acrylic on canvas but I also incorporate charcoal, pastel, collage and oils along with photography and digital media.
The urban environment is of particular interest to me and I frequently travel back to the city for inspiration. Railway stations, dilapidated and disused buildings, pubs, cafés and other structures are among my favourite subjects.
I have held a number of solo and joint exhibitions in Victoria and I have participated in numerous group exhibitions throughout Australia. I have also completed a number of private commissions.
