I am a self taught artist. In my younger years I did oils and then I had a hiatus of 20 odd years. I started painting full time 4 years ago when I retired.

My very first exhibition was at the Mildura Arts Centre, then the Mildura Visitors Centre.

I am part of the Makers of the Wentworth Shire, and have had 2 solo exhibitions at the Wentworth Visitors Centre, along with 3 exhibitions with the Wentworth Makers.

I do a variety of different paintings, in oils, acrylics and watercolour, I have a lot of texture in my paintings and my love of colour is well known. I enjoy doing Australiana, animals, faces and Landscapes. I love embellishing my paintings and do a lot with gold leafing and foils, along with metallic and iridescent paint, and differnet pigments.
