I spent the first 15 years of my life near Liverpool UK and now live in Adelaide in South Australia.
My first artistic milestone was takiing part a group exhibition when I was only 18 years of age. It was not as a painter however, but a potter. After a large break were I dabbled every few years or so in oils and watercolours, I started in earnest about 7 years ago in acrylics. Since that time I have aquired over 40 awards and have works in collections around the world. I have written feature articles both in Australia and the UK. Beaches and moody rainy-day streets are my favourite subjects, probably because I enjoy the effects of shadow, light and reflection.
I recently gained national recognition in Australia by being published in an historical work on Melbourne. The history of the city has been published through the eyes of its artists. The Art of Being Melbourne included Australian greats as Roberts, Sir Arthur Streeton, McCubbin, Amore, Smart and of course Mike Barr.
