Artist bio

I am a professional artist and art tutor living in Melbourne. I have my own art studio and gallery space in Beaumaris.
I take on art commissions - pet portraits are a speciality of mine.
I also run art classes for adults and children and love to see people enjoying their art and develop their skills.
I have a post graduate qualification in art history which i studied whilst living in London. I learnt so much about the great master artists and they continue to be a huge inspiration and source of ideas for me.

I create art because...

I feel like it is what I am meant to do and I love it.

I am different to most artists because...

I am very traditional and love realism which is not so common these days.

When you look at my art, the thing I want you to feel is...

Emotion and wonder

The thing I most want to say to non-artists is...

You can draw/paint if you want to!!

I believe art is an important part of our lives because...

It is so good for us, mentally and spiritually.
