I am a Canberra based artist and have been painting since 1985. I am a self-taught artist specialising in drawings and oil paintings of portraits, landscape scenes, animals and flowers.
The early Australian Impressionists, in particular Sir Arthur Streeton have inspired my work. I have painted with the late Reginald Campbell, one of Australia’s greatest artists and ‘Master’ portrait painter and have been strongly influenced by his work.
