I’m an artist based in the Southern Highlands of NSW. Born in Melbourne in 1974 I grew up between Montreal, Canada and later Sydney, Australia.

While I consider myself mainly self-taught, I’ve spent time studying at Julian Ashton’s Art School in Sydney where I gained an understanding of the classical methods of drawing and painting. I’ve also completed courses at the National Art School, Waverly Woollahra Art School as well as masterclasses held through the Art Gallery New South Wales. In addition I’ve completed a Bachelor of Design for my earlier career as a graphic designer.

Nowadays I love exploring still life painting. I don’t like painting the predictable though. I do like telling a story – or at least a part of a story. Creating a composition that has a sense of the dramatic but which could also be completely banal at the same time. Somehow depicting more questions than answers. Something that resonates personally.

But the outdoors calls too. Travelling and painting en-plein air is an amazing antidote to too much time in the studio. Capturing light in either a natural landscapes or an urban one too is always something I look forward to.
