Profile
Life is here to enjoy, while damaging no one. Do what you love, do what is good, do what you would do if you weren’t thinking ‘should I?’. If you can think of it and it is good, it is there to do. That’s how I like to create art-I feel inspiration and I do. It is wonderful!
I’ve been doing it for awhile. It’s an enjoyable way to create art and I hope it brings others joy as well. It is always my intention to inspire others, as well as myself.
A lot of inspiration comes from the teachings of Roz Lawler. I credit much of the ease in which I enjoy this life to her. Check her out!

I love creating images you can live with. I always have something to say, and my intention is to create fresh, modern art that welcomes you home.
I’ve been involved with the North Sydney Community Centre and Gallery 26 where I sold plenty over 2007 2008 a huge buzz.
With photography, I like to be completely free. I take loads of pics of everything.
Favourite subjects: portraits/ kids, flowers nature plus I’ve had fun doing Weddings/fashion
as well as bands, most notably, the Eurythymics I enjoyed a close relationship with Porcelain for a while there as well.

elements of design 2-line

Writing to stimulate the creative mind, satisfy the soul and score on the hsc trail.
Having done the hsc, become a teacher (of sorts) and being full of opinion, I begin to write as an example to those a similar trail. The idea is that I’ll write something, they can respond and so fo…
