All images in my main gallery are original works, created using graphite pencils, soft pastels, charcoal, and acrylic paint only. They contain no photography or digital alterations. Progress pictures in the description area may include photographs, but all main images are scanned from my original artwork.

I have been artistically inclined from an early age.
As a child I would create things out of cardboard, paper, and anything else I could find. Quite often my parents would find me sitting on the laundry floor, or under a table somewhere quiet ripping off pieces of sticky tape with my teeth!
In my teenage years I spent most of my work time creating elaborate headers for my assignments, which consequently left me with very little time for actual theory work. I was a silly boy, a joker, and not interested in anything serious, especially school.
I failed year 10 twice due to running amok and procrastinating with my studies. One of my high school art teachers told me once that I had such talent and potential, if only I would just apply myself. I didn’t realise the impact of what she was telling me.
I left school without completing it when I was 17, and worked several crap jobs and had children very early.
My art took a back seat to my child rearing and songwriting
At age 30 my marriage ended to my high school sweetheart, so in march 2008, after a year of post separation depression, I started drawing again.
I realised what I had been missing and it started a whirlwind of pencil sketches, acrylic and pastel paintings and photography.
My passion for art and beauty is now stronger than ever!
