ARTIST BIO

Born in Coburg in 1954 and currently living in Melbourne. I had always been interested in art but did not really start to paint until in my mid 20's. As an artist my focus tended towards landscape painting and portraiture, although still life and floral paintings are also an interest for me.

While not always successful, I strive to create work that creates emotion for the viewer, particularly with my portraits. I find watercolour the best medium to promote an emotional response and often will use acrylic paint as a transparent medium in my larger portrait work to gain a similar result.

Currently I work tutoring students in a range of mediums and subjects and take my students through the techniques and processes of creating rather than replicating a subject.

My most recent awards include
