My adventure started in 1969 when I left Australia by ship for England via South Africa. On to Italy then overland to London, Working and exploring Scotland, Ireland, England and many European countries. I returned home through the Panama Canal, stopping off at Tahiti on the way. In 1974, adventure beckoned me to ride the wild seas around Cape Horn stopping off at Argentina and Brazil.

I based my stay in London. This time was for study, painting at the National Gallery, copying the Old Masters. Drawing lessons, studying ceramics and painting down around the coast of Cornwall. I returned home to put it all into practice, painting, drawing, potting and teaching with exhibitions in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide. In 1981, the sirens beckoned me again, setting off to the South Pacific to work and live, ending up in the Gilbert Islands, Kiribati, working as a Youth Trainer on a UN funded programme.

I returned to Australia in 1986 with my newly acquired family to continue painting, potting, drawing and teaching. 12 months ago, this time with a blank canvas, I set out to discover the wonders of colour, shape, form, light and reflections. I used my knowledge of the past to guide me on my way. I have pushed the boundaries of shape and form on the pottery wheel.

I would describe my style as Modern Impressionism, reflecting on the wonder of images seen on past adventures. I hope you will enjoy your journey through my work.
