I live on the Mid North Coast of Australia in a small village called Wallabi Point. I have a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Teaching majoring in creative arts & currently teach art during my day job as a school teacher.

My technique involves drawing using compressed charcoal onto a timber panel. My artworks are influenced by our native Australian flora and fauna. Many of my creations combine native flowers and fish caught on the coast of my home town. This combination I feel, represents a calmness found in both land and sea. Both beautiful, both silent, both have exquisite detail and form; both represent where they come from without a sound.
