BIOGRAPHY

The art of drawing has always been an integral part of my working life. Set designer in television (1990 -95) , Art work for the television reality program  “ The  Renovators” (2012), Interiors, architecture and product design (1995 - 2024) 

​

My Inspiration - those that look beyond the obvious. Those that see beauty in a  rough diamond. The unapologetics - whoever you are. 

 

Tenebrism is a style I aim for in many of my drawings, with the use of  extreme, "dramatic illumination" and extreme contrasts between light and dark to create a powerful, dramatic effect.

 

My influence,  with humility - Drama in Caravaggio's paintings, Auguste Rodin's poetic linework, the brutality in Lucian Freud's nudes. The works of Gustave Moreaua French artist and an important figure in the Symbolist movement. 

 

My vision - Explore, explore and explore.  Currently the many aspects of “man” a series of drawings  I am currently working towards an exhibition to be held at the Corner  Gallery in Stanmore, Sydney. Australia. 2026 February the 4th.
