I migrated with my family to Australia 1955, the family settled in Geelong. I lived in Australia ever since.
The creative act expresses identity and purpose, so painting is a personal discipline to express human connections. And mark making on a visible surface is normal human behaviour an artist harnesses to create the best expression for whatever is culture in the moment.
To painting students here in Hobart I emphasis energy as much as making the art because art is primarily emotion and emotion matched to experience becomes creativity when our collective energy is culture, in the classroom or in the broader environment we receive the good fortune art bestows on one and all.
I’m a senior with a lifetime of creativity holding both a diploma in visual arts at Prahran college, Melbourne and lately a Bachelor's Degree at UTAS, book marking a forty years career in every conceivable artistic field from theatre and cultural design to studio work and illustration, and recently promoting and assisting art in education, regularly curating art exhibits by professionals and school children alike.
For decades I attended in life drawing at TAP Gallery Darlinghurst where I exhibited paintings regularly .
A move to Hobart and I continue to paint and show locally and also teach privately in Hobart.
