My interest in painting began in my final year at Downlands College Toowoomba where I chose to study Art and initially worked with acrylics. After joining a local art group I discovered the rewarding medium of oils. However,with various commitments and the hectic pace of life, painting took a backseat for twenty years and the brushes and palette knives were reluctantly put aside. I recently felt the need to resume creative avenues.

With works depicting the areas of North Queensland, I portray the raw and native conditions found in the Australian bush. Using my own photographs from surrounding travels as reference. I paint while listening to music for inspiration. Art and music have had a huge impact on my life.
