Having originially studied design and working the the architectural field for many years, I decided to pursue my true passion, painting. I enrolled in painting at the National Art School, East Sydney for four years part-time. By the end of the course I knew that I had to paint full-time, so I gave up design and studied at East Sydney full-time for three years.
On completion, a friend and I set up our studios which we still have in Sydney.
Three years ago I decided to divide my time between Sydney and the northern rivers, and bought a property at Tregeagle where I have my horses and set up another studio.
