PERSONAL STATEMENT
“I began training formally at the Julian Ashton Art School at The Rocks in 1996. I received a Diploma in Fine Art in 2003. Since then I have been painting private commissions, specialising in portraiture. I particularly enjoy painting children and young people.
It is a constant challenge observing people and capturing their essence, their attitude, and the translucence of their skin and eyes. However, occasionally I tend to veer off into the world of whimsy and paint whatever takes my fancy – whether it be urban scenes or vintage cars.”
