I wish to acknowledge the Menang Noongar people as the traditional custodians of the Boodja (land) on which I live. I pay my respects to their continuing culture, and the vital contribution they make to the Albany regions.
Process
My awe of nature, and sense of wonder remain undiminished since childhood, long ago. Making art is second nature, it is my calling.
Current works. I am strongly influenced by the location of my home and studio located in Albany, Western Australia. Selective use of materials and process supports my ongoing fascination with not only flora and fauna, but the living systems that support them.
Sustainability
Climate change is now upon us, but even small efforts can help reduce its impact. Recycled materials are most often used in sculptural and assemblage work, and painting materials are Australian made and bought locally to support local businesses and reduce the use of fossil fuels, for transportation.
