I have lived in the Western Downs region for over 20 years, and dabbled with an interest in painting and drawing since the early nineties. Right now I am painting, learning and painting some more. I am experimenting with acrylics, pen and wash, mixed media, inspired by the landscape of my backyard in the Western Downs.

My creative interest is not limited to the Queensland landscape but its influence is strong. A fascination with capturing the stories in my own backyard grows ever stronger the more I observe, paint and create.
