I Have had many jobs in my life time , but none as rewarding as what I do today. Growing up on the land, my interaction with animals has been a constant in my life.

I live on a farm, 38 km out of the town called Nhill, off the Western Highway, Victoria , Australia.

I get to create in my studio which is an 80 year old barn, we converted in 2017. I love my space , the light and the atmosphere is inspiring. I am an avid photographer and enjoy being out in nature , to get that shot that will become my next original piece.

Inspiration for me is ‘light’, the way it falls and creates it’s own magic on surfaces . The shadows it creates, the mood it evokes. The way colour bounces and reflects.

I enjoy life as an artist, I hope you enjoy seeing what I do ……..
