I am a self-taught Brisbane-born artist. Having experimented with a wide range of media, 
I have found pastels to be my preferred medium.  My method of completely covering 
the working area with layers of pastel has often resulted in my finished works being 
mistaken for oil paintings.

As a ‘realist’ artist, I always strive to create highly detailed works. Much of my 
inspiration is drawn from the spirituality and harmony of Australia’s land and sea. 
I particularly love the challenge of creating the movement of water in my artworks, 
and the play of light and shadow to create high contrast images. Some of my original 
artworks have embraced the Red Centre, tropical north Queensland, familiar Brisbane 
scenes, rural properties, and coastal regions.

Although the majority of my works are sea and landscapes, I also create eye-catching 
surreal and contemporary works. These dream-like images are often portrayed in 
vivid colour and serve as an outlet for my more imaginative side.I find it exciting and 
challenging to create vistas that do not exist in reality. These artworks have a personality 
all of their own.

I have had several successful solo exhibitions of my work, including shows in the Myer 
Centre (Brisbane City) and Oriel Gallery (Ascot). I have exhibited and sold works at several 
other art shows and galleries, including the Courier-Mail and Sunday-Mail Art Shows, Royal 
Queensland Show, St Joseph’s Nudgee College Art & Crafts Show, St Paul’s School 
Art Show, Abused Child Trust Art Show, and the Pine Rivers Annual Art Awards.
