Most of my working life has been spent within the construction industry, which allowed me to live and work in many different
cultures and environments across the world.

I have always had a strong interest in art, which is now being expressed through my drawings, paintings and print works.

Largely self taught, I have assisted the development of my skills through the completion of a number of courses dedicated to drawing and 
painting at the Linden Centre for Contemporary Art, St Kilda, Victoria and the Brisbane Institute of Art, Windsor, Queensland.

Additionally, I have completed a number of courses in printmaking at the Australian Print Workshop, Fitzroy, Victoria..
