I have never been far from art but it took a career change and a move to Europe to allow me the time to study formally. Since returning to Australia I have been lucky enough to study at the Victorian College of the Arts, the Julian Ashton School, the National Art School and RMIT, where I am currently undertaking the Advamced Diploma in Visual Arts. Inspired by traditional techniques, working mostly in oils, my work explores the layers of meaning that surround a visual image.
