about

I am a practising artist living between the Ovens and King Valleys in the Victorian High Country, Australia.

I am a graphic designer by qualification. Since graduating in 1985 I have worked as a creative director, business developer, project manager, lecturer at Victoria University in Melbourne and Wodonga TAFE and, of all things, a recruiter of design staff!

In my various professional roles, I have been both a service provider and the client and both the principal of my own design business and an employee of diverse enterprises, from cheese makers to hand tool manufacturers.

In late 2014, I resigned from my position at a digital agency in Melbourne to pursue a life-long ambition to build a body of artworks for exhibition, operating out of my garage in Albert Park, Victoria.  In addition to continuing this pursuit, I spend my time parenting my 2 children (and my Siberian Husky) and working with my partner Helen using my design skills to renovate and sell houses.

In April last year we moved permanently to what was our holiday house on Henley Ridge in Markwood, Victoria.  For those who don’t know it, Henley Ridge is perched high between the Ovens and King Valleys.  Now, depending on the weather and my whim, I can continue to work out of a garage or from either my indoor studio or any one of a number of outdoor vantage points which take in the “Landlines” view.
