Self confessed art and design junkie, with a passion for attacking paper with pens and other implements of mass paper destruction. When not engaging in this past time, I like to fire off my camera and shoot anything that falls within my sight.

Currently I am a full time student in my final year of my three year Diploma Of Advertising & Graphic Design, with a aim of setting up my own permanent studio in the long run. I live in Adelaide which is the state capital of South Australia, and study at the Croydon Institute of TAFE.

On a side note I would also like to take the opportunity to promote people with disabilities and mental illnesses in the arts. I myself suffer from Bi-polar, and as such would like to inspire other people in a similar situation to me to get involved with the arts. For many years I have found it difficult to find my niche and where I fit into the scheme of life, but I now think I feel pretty much at home in graphic design.

Writing

Long have I journeyed

For the short time in the history and life and all that is, you added a glow to my world. A world that only was because of you.

Art, Bipolar & Me

To me, art and bipolar are intrinsically linked. By releasing my emotions and feelings into my artwork, I am somewhat freed of whatever weight I am carrying.

Why

Consumption of my worth / Destruction of my belief / I lie here withering

Bipolar & Me Speach

My favourite saying is, “Crazy people are creative people”.
