Artist Statement


I guess most of us are fascinated by dreams, and things we really don’t understand and I’m no different. I find it exciting and challenging attempting to visualise unlikely, unworldly possibilities and for me, the notion of visually interpreting the unexplained fits perfectly within the Surrealism genré.
 

BIO


Born in Newcastle Australia and graduated with a

Degree in Fine Arts and also a Degree in Education.
Taught as an Art teacher for just a couple of years before relocating to Adelaide
.
From the late 90's to 2019 I periodically lectured in design institutes teaching design principles, user-centric design thinking,
and applied design process.
In 1999 I establishing a boutique Advertising and Design Agency with my founding partner. We closed our a
gency between the GFC
and the Global Pandemic.


In 2019, I started investing the majority of my time in developing my personal artwork.
I’ve previously produced large canvas works with acrylics and mixed media... and I
still paint but given my intensive design experience with 2D digital media, I’ve made digital creations my primary method of artistic expression.
