For me Art is A esthetics R eflection T herapy.
I appreciate constructive criticism.
When I was 17 years old I won a scholarship to go to Art School and I started photography at Newcastle University. It was my first real social and creative experience and it felt like heaven-on-earth.
After Uni I was an Art and Photography Teacher. I took a year off in 1987, and backpacked around Europe and Egypt, living a dream. Since then I have been an Art and Photography teacher and a professional photographer in Sydney. I am currently doing an Arts Degree in Creative Writing at Newcastle University.
My ART photography allowed me to express my emotions and document my life style. Some of the photographs I’ve put here come from my era around 1990, the “Raging 90s”.
during a time in Sydney when touching, kissing, hugs, animals and flowers could happily exist for me. A world far beyond my cattle property childhood. Some come from other facets of experiencing life.
As part of my professional photographic life I have sold my cards and photographs from Melbourne to Cairns.

Where is the magic?
Sensitivity hides in the asylum. / Normality drives the bus. / Where have all the fairies gone?
Not Like Breakfast at Tiffany's
He said it was a mistake to show them my portfolio, that I should move out. That they were telling the police it’s like the Bill Hansen thing.
Catherine Lilly Wheel
I want to change my name. / To give myself more power, / more strength to re-enter my Art world. / Please give feedback.
I Must Stop Loving You
Throw the heart / like a cricket ball / against the wall / Splat, / leaving red kisses on the white.
Love Lost
I have a hole like a Henry Moore sculpture. / The void takes my heart and my womb. / It is filled with that bad taste in my mouth.
Wild Cattle from Wallabadah
Poem dedicated to my father: John Brooker 1925-1984 / He bought me up working on a cattle property. / Influenced by Banjo Patterson. / Wallabadah Rock is the second largest rock in Australia.
