Artist
Seascapes of the Victoria coastline in Australia, are what I am currently choosing to focus my paintings on. I aim to reflect the peace found by the water.
I’ve had many successful exhibitions around Melbourne.
In 2019 and 2023 I exhibited large studio paintings on show in the Foyer exhibition Space at the Mornington Library, with many sold much to my delight and I was grateful for all the great feedback on my work.
‘Beauty of the Beaches’ at the Mornington Library, an Exhibition of paintings of Mornington, Mount Eliza and Mount Martha was a sellout. Join the mailing list to hear about my next exhibition.
I gratefully received the 2017 Goldstein Community Award for services to the Arts.
Musician
