About Me

I spent most of my life living on the Mornington Peninsula. Now I am a current resident of the Gippsland community. I have always had a passion for art.

I have a wide range of influences from Renaissance Art to Contemporary Art, but my main passion is Cartooning.
I am inspired by such artists as Robert McKimson (Creator of Looney Tunes Cartoons), 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.

Recently I have drawn 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.

I had a health issue and with the last 18months of my recovery, I have used my artwork to express my thoughts and feelings throughout this time, and this is represented in a flower theme.

I am currently developing my artistic techniques further with Scrapbooking, Jewellery Making, Wedding Planning and Photography.

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