Artistic Practice

My art practice is diverse, driven by an enduring fascination with Outback Australia—its unique
landscape, vivid colours, vast spaces, and intricate patterns. This fascination inspires my
contemporary artistic expressions. I am prolific in my work, approaching various subjects with intense
passion and dedication. My repertoire includes still life, cityscapes, and landscapes, utilising a range
of mediums such as acrylics, watercolours, inks, and gouache.

With a strong foundation in teaching, I have primarily focused on guiding senior painting students.
Over the years, I've extended my teaching to adults, conducting private sessions and workshops for
art groups and various institutions. These experiences have been immensely gratifying and enriching.
I have spent significant time in Mansfield, Victoria, and am now residing in Lower Plenty, Melbourne.
My work has been showcased in numerous group exhibitions and I have had several solo exhibitions
in Eltham, Melbourne, and its Bayside areas, as well as in Mansfield and other parts of country
Victoria.

My art has been featured in private collections nationally, interstate, and internationally.
