| Introduction | Born in Tasmania, Australia, I am a self-taught artist working in oils, gouache, ink and pencil. I enjoy painting local scenery, still-life and portraits from life under natural light whenever possible. My work is held in collections around Australia and abroad. If you have any queries, please drop me a note via the contact form and I'll get back to you. Thanks for your interest. |
