HAS WORKED WITH MG FROM 201  TO 201..

 I am a Queensland born, Australian artist.  I paint what I love….  Australian beaches, Tuscany and lately, everyday things that have their own beauty that we often overlook.

Art is an expression of our Heart’s understanding of LIFE.  I believe it has power to transform lives. Perhaps more important, I believe that art is capable of engaging and enriching the spirit. It bypasses the intellect and touches the depth of our souls.

I work in my studio, a converted railway carriage in Redcliffe on the northside of Brisbane.  My work is represented in   galleries  on the Sunshine Coast and locally.  My work is in the collections of the Redcliffe Museum and Moreton Regional Gallery.
