Born in New Zealand and migrating to Australia in 1980,I learnt traditional portraiture from my dad in my late teens,which soon turned into a love of everything creative.

Starting out with graphite portraits I later taught myself to use oils,but with a growing family came a lack of creative space,which steered me towards a more compact form of art…digital.

After many years bouncing between digital and traditional I found the two had merged for me,and a lot of my oil pieces were created using similar techniques I used digitally.Multiple colour glaze layers gave birth to large illustrative stories on canvas.
