I spent most of my life living on the Mornington Peninsula. Now a current resident of the Gippsland community. I have always had a passion for Art 'n' Craft beginning from early childhood and developing my own style over many years through self taught and mentoring by friends, family, teachers and lecturers.

I have a wide range of influences from Renaissance Art to Contemporary Art, with one of my main passion in Cartooning.
I am inspired by such artists as Robert McKimson (Creator of Looney Tunes Cartoons), Walt Disney, Michael Leunig and Mark Knight (Newspaper Cartoonists).

In 2005 I completed a Diploma of Arts - Visual Arts, with a major in Painting and minor in Printmaking.

I draw great inspiration from the artworks by the Master of inventions and anatomy, Leonardo da Vinci. With the extravagant religious imagery and his magnificent photo-like portraiture, my most recent oil paintings have been influenced from these pieces. Also the likes of Claude Monet & Vincent van Gogh have been of great influence with their techniques.

For a few years with health issues, during my journey and my recovery, I use my artwork as therapy to express my thoughts and feelings represented in a floral theme.

With recent pieces include a series expressing the journey I have gone through with my health, starting a new beginning, regaining my healthy lifestyle and development of my artistic talent.

2010 will focus on the continuation of floral pieces, Scrapbooking, Art 'n' Craft, running Art Classes and broadening my knowledge in Art Therapy and Natural Healing to help others.
