Artist bio

I'm an award winning Artist and Sculptor creating art from my studio in Brighton, Melbourne. My mediums are acrylic on canvas and ceramic sculptures.

I invite you to take a visual exploration into my work and discover the intricate creatures created within each layer of the canvas.

Abstract is my key expression - Nature is my inspiration.

The uniqueness of my paintings display how separate sections fuse together to form a complete image, creating an original piece of art that combines the emotion of my inner consciousness.

Life is full of images, through my art I try to capture the essence of those images on canvas.
