My life started in Mount Isa, outback Queensland. It was here, at the age of 12, I first discovered my love for art during extra-curricular art classes. Being shaped by this early technical training, my artistic style centred on traditional landscape paintings. During the following years I experimented with different, more contemporary, styles and later moved to Brisbane to study Visual Art at the Queensland University of Technology. It was this experience that fuelled my passion to pursue and discover my own unique, abstract style.

Within days of completing my degree, I was pursuing another passion … travel … and found myself living in Somerset, England. For the next five years I experimented a lot with my style and technique and, in my quest to ensure that no wall in England remained bored, I began my own gallery selling contemporary art on the internet. My art was a sellout (so I didn't have to become one) and I became a full time artist painting canvases and original greeting cards. Along the way I gathered some private collectors and held a number of exhibitions.

After my time in England I travelled for a year and finally settled in Vancouver, Canada. I spent a year in Canada and while there experimented with a new abstract landscape style. From Canada I came back to Australia and made Northern Sydney my home.

I am now involved in helping to manage ‘The Art Sanctuary’ gallery in William Street, Fairlight and am currently one of the resident artists. On regular occasions I hold art classes for beginning enthusiasts as a way of encouraging them to get in touch with their own creativity.

My work is a reflection of my faith and my world around me. My dreams and fantasies keep me inspired – attempting the impossible runs in my blood. I fell in love with the process of art; the feelings I could provoke and the emotions I could release. Colour makes me feel and the drawing of black lines gives me boundaries. But more than this, my art exists for you, the viewer. I want each piece to invoke a response … perhaps change the way you view your world or just alter the way you think about something. This interaction is the reason I love being an artist.
