Art has been an integral part of my life since a very young age.
MY Ambition
My ambition was to become an Illustrator. Mt Stromlo Observatory and the Research School of Biological Sciences, ANU Canberra gave me the opportunity to hone my skills working with the aid of an Electron microscope, to illustrate both fauna and flora dissections for publication in science journals.
The Process
I began painting, firstly in oils, then in watercolour and mixed media. Most of my art now centres around watercolour, with some pen and ink work. I find painting with watercolour both exhilarating and frustrating, as you can never be quite sure where it will lead you.
Over the years I have been most fortunate to have had the opportunity to participate in workshops with John Lovett, David Fam and others.
I paint using a variety of subjects, predominately the bush, floral and bird life.
