I'm a self taught Abstract Artist.

        Born in Adelaide Sept. 1952.

         I liked to paint from an early age at school it allowed me the freedom to express how I felt. I didn't know then that one day I would return to painting, using colour and shape, to find personal satisfaction in my life.

        At 14 I experimented with Fluro coloured paint on matt black cardboard my bedroom walls were covered with these, under a black light at night they would glow in the dark. I would lie in bed looking at their strong luminous colours, trying to understand my thoughts, feelings and fears at the time.

        1980 -Through out my teenage years I left art behind it wasn't till I moved back to Sydney after spending some of my youth growing up there. I became inspired by other Artists whose work hang in the many coffee shops restaurant and galleries. After painting for awhile I approached a cafe owner, I was then given some wall space with other local artists after a few months my work all sold. Over the next few years I continued painting for pleasure as well as a partime income.

        1985 -I began painting on silk and cotton shirts selling them at the markets and privately. Sometimes I painted stage clothes for various musicans and artists.

        1986 - My creative outlet changed I began designing leather clothing using scraps of leather making patchwork garments as well as wall hangings, I also began designing hand-painted woman's lingerie.

        1987 - I was asked by singer Rene Geyer to design and paint the clothing for her backing singers in a new show she took Australia wide, using Fluro paints again.

        1990 - I was offered an exhibition at the Naive Gallery in Woollahra. This Exhibition was primarily for Aboriginal Artists from Central Australia. I was honoured to be the only non-Aboriginal person invited to join this exciting event. The exhibition was covered by SBS television and Triple J radio. The show was a great success, both for myself and more importantly for the Indigenous artists.

         1992 -I had a solo exhibition called Camouflage in a popular kings cross nightclub and sold out.

         1994 - I met Malcolm Jagamarra, a well known aboriginal artist who had recently had his artwork placed on the first Telsta phone cards. Commissioned by his friend, Australian surfing legend Guy Leech to paint one of his surfboards, Malcolm asked if I would join him on the project, apparently the board was donated to the Museum of Hawaii by Guy Leech.

         1995 - I once again joined Malcolm this time doing a large bark painting for a private collector in Melbourne over a period of a week we created our two different styles of art while being filmed, I later found out it was sold to IBM computers in Melbourne.

         1997 - I began painting on womens lingerie high-lighting the intricate lace work selling privately to different women, including many exotic dancers in Sydney.

         1998 - I had a solo exhibition called Silence Prevails at the Annadale Cafe, which was successful after which I was also approached by the Herringbone Gallery that year to join well Sydney artists such as Martin Sharp, Reg Mombassa (the Mambo artist) as well as Aboriginal artists in a fundraising exhibition. The proceeds went to helping the aborigines and the protestors make a stand at Jabiluka against the Government, for uranium mining being done on aboriginal titled land.

         1999 - I exhibited at Hotel Altamont in Darlinghurst.

      These days I try to paint everyday always experimenting with colour, I enjoy doing dot paintings, over the years I have exhibited along side Aborigines and have been very proud to be asked to share gallery space with these great artists, I hope some of my work I have on show is appreciated by all those who visit my site, peace.
