I am a Melbourne based sculptor and painter and have a number of tertiary level art qualifications. 

            I have painted a selection of famous people for the Archibald Portrait Prize. 
These include, Barry Jones, Robert Walls and David Parkin, Deborah Conway and others, My professional training in sculpture includes 2 years studying with well-respected  Australian  sculptor Victor Kalinowski, from 1996-1998. 

          I also trained at Bayside Sculpture, with celebrated sculptor, Gael O Leary for 3 years I regularly exhibit my work in solo and group exhibitions. I have been fortunate to receive recognition for my work through the award of prizes, as well as gaining private and public commissions including in 2013, The Storyteller, a large, bronze sculpture, commissioned by AMP for the forecourt at Collins Place,  35 Collins St Melbourne.

                        I always work from life in my studio. The models I use are usually dancers,   as I like to give a sense of movement to my abstract figurative work.    I start by doing a number of sketches to get the feeling of the pose. The materials I use are clay and wax, the finished sculpture is then cast into bronze in a bronze sculpture foundry.

I have also done sculptures in steel rods and aluminum wire. My artistic style is to depict the human form in a simplified, pared-back style.  The results are refined, highly stylized works that reflect the essence of the subject portrayed. I like to suggest but never define.
