I’ve never known a time when I’ve not wanted to paint. I’ve known many times when I’ve not been in a position to live that time, but it’s always been there. Art was about the only thing I wanted to do at school and I was able to further those studies first at Cambridge and later in Chelmsford in the UK.

 

I arrived in Australia in 1973 and continued to paint - amazed by the different light here. However, family commitments soon meant that less time could be devoted to my passion, - bills needed to be paid and family had to take priority, my painting stopped.

 

In 2002 a friend noticed one of my early works and was surprised that I had not touched my brushes for so many years. With his and my family’s help I was persuaded to dust off my brushes and to paint again.

My passion to paint gets stronger daily and with a fantastically inspiring studio to work in I share that passion through my workshops and exhibitions. 

I hope you will enjoy.
