Just as musicians are attuned to the nuances of sound, as a visual artist, it is an aesthetic sense, a heightened sensitivity to line, colour, and balance, all harmonised through thoughtful design, My creative impulse is often sparked by life's myriad experiences, optimism, personal observations, and the rich tapestry of travel, all converging with an enduring zest for life. 

Painting, for me, is a dynamic balancing act. I fluidly navigate between various mediums and genres, embracing a diversity of themes, compositions, and techniques. At the core of each work lies a foundational drawing, a skeletal framework that guides the piece. Every painting aspires to evoke a distinct feeling or mood, capturing a sense of place and the intrinsic nature of the moment. Through the interplay of colour, stylistic techniques, and narrative elements, I strive to achieve creative clarity.

Over the past three decades, my collaboration with licensing agents in Australia and the United States has led to the publication of my images and designs on a variety of merchandise across Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia. 

My passion for art traces back to my early childhood spent on an isolated farming property near Old Junee, NSW, Australia. After completing my secondary education at Wagga High School in the 1960s. I pursued Business Studies at Wagga Commercial College, followed by studies in Fashion (Drafting and Design) and Fine Art in Sydney,  (Associate Diploma of Fine Art).

The early 1970s were transformative, as I lived and worked in London and Europe, immersing myself in the cultural zeitgeist of the era. Subsequent years in Mallorca in the Balearic Islands further enriched my creative perspective. These experiences profoundly influenced my artistic pursuits and lifestyle, leaving an indelible mark on my work. The Balearic Islands continue to hold special memories, and I return there whenever possible.

Since 1997, I have lived in Avalon on Sydney's Northern Beaches where my studio serves as a sanctuary for ongoing exploration and creation.

My print studio, Artprints Australia, is also based in Avalon where I am involved in manufacturing high-quality giclee prints on canvas and fine art paper. These are available for purchase through the online shop www.artprintsaustralia.com.au.

I am a participating member of the artists' cooperative, ART GALLERY ON AVALON BEACH where I currently have a selection of my latest original work for sale.
