Art, and in particular painting, has been a driving passion in my life since childhood. It excites and inspires me every day. My art has evolved over the years through many themes and ideas, including still-life, architecture and perspective, imaginary compositions and most recently, contemporary figurative portraiture.

I paint mainly in oils and egg tempera. My oil artworks focus more on the form and texture, in contrast to my extremely detailed iconography works, where I aim to create much depth, dimensions and sense of space. Working in these two very different artistic forms, allows me to explore a wider spectrum of the painting processes and techniques. I find painting to be a source of reflection and communication, between transcendence and the immediate environment. My painting practices continuously evolve; as part of the ever changing world around us I am moved to create images that seize the eye, intrigue the imagination and strive to fill one with wonder.

As part of my love for art, I have found that I enjoy sharing my knowledge of different mediums and my personal exhilaration of the arts, through teaching. This has become an integral part of my practice throughout the years and to date. I provide private, short courses and a range of art programs, for both adults and children. I also organise and teach a Traditional Iconography Art Workshop at the GAS (Geelong Art Society). They are incredibly popular and consistently sell out when published to enrol.
