About
Hi, and welcome to my website. I am an Australian artist who lives in Yass, New South Wales. I paint and draw places, people and things that make me stop and look, that refresh, inspire and strengthen. For me, painting and drawing are one of life's great tonics and I love the whole process of bringing a work to life. I am falling in love with pen and ink drawing all over again. They force me to slow right down, becoming almost meditative at times and this flows through into my painting process. Making art is also a way of sharing and I hope that you enjoy browsing through this collection.
