A Lifetime's Passion

* I studied first at the Julian Ashton Art School and then the Brian Blanchard Studio, before spending several years travelling and studying in Europe.

* Returning to Australia, I completed my Masters Degree in Fine Arts at the College of Fine Arts, Sydney, and for a time worked in animation.

* I currently teach Painting at the Waverley Woollahra Art School and conduct workshops in Life Drawing at the College of Fine Arts, Sydney.

* In 2001 I travelled around Australia as part of the Mitsubishi Commonwealth Games "Blue Roo Tour", and for the past decade I have travelled to the Greek Islands and Italy to paint.

* I exhibit at Studio W, Woolloomooloo, and also give painting demonstrations and lectures for Matisse Derivan Paints.

* My work is represented in corporate and private collections in Europe and Australia.
