Now I'm retired I'm free to do all the things I've always wanted to do such as the fine arts, modelmaking, sailing & travel.

After school I studied for four years at East Sydney Tech. (National Art School).  The first two years was an excellent introduction to the basics of painting & drawing, the different mediums, & the varied forms of art.

I started work in the film industry as an animation background artist and then moved onto layout, design and finished art for studios & agencies.

I tried to keep up my fine art drawing and painting skills by attending classes with Fred Bates at the Royal Art Society but business and family commitments soon stopped this.

I believe in the importance of good drawing as the foundation of all painting & regard myself as a perpetual drawing student.  I've specialised in pen and wash and watercolour because it is easy to pack and carry when travelling.  I'm also looking forward to working in Acrylics.

As a subject I'm attracted to old buildings, old and working boats, and our spectacular landscape.
