I grew up on a farm in North Victoria and was drawing from a young age. At age 9 I went to the Murray Ross Art School. After high school I did an Art degree at Deakin in Warrnambool, participating in exhibitions & playing music as a drummer. Home now is the Dandenong Ranges where I work as a self employed gardener. Some paintings have darker themes from difficult periods. Most of my inspiration these days comes from working in beautiful gardens where I love to watch the seasonal changes.
