I have been reviving my skills in art having largely neglected them since lino-printing at school and cartooning for university student newspapers. I have been living in East Africa but returned to Australia a few years ago, mostly working in the refugee field and as an interpreter.
I mainly do lino-prints but have been expanding into woodcuts and dream of doing stencils after being inspired by Margaret Preston. I love doing illustrations for pamphlets or books. My cartoons are mainly one box gags on education and welfare.
I have had prints in a few exhibitions; the most recent being Create to Advocate in Parliament House, Canberra.
