I didn't plan to be an artist, life just led me down this road and I eagerly followed.

    I grew up in Central Queensland on a large cattle station, went to boarding school in Rockhampton, went to Ag College at Gatton, then worked with my brothers training horses, training and showing cattle and contract mustering.

    Through the stud cattle and horses I got hooked on photography, and took a camera whenever I was mustering or travelling, several coffee table books followed and many photographic exhibitions.

    After raising two children I then found the time to concentrate on a long time passion of becoming an oil painting artist. I first started painting in about 2010 and have spent every spare moment, almost, since then painting.

    I've had many successful exhibition and love what I do.

    Thanks for reading and please reach out if you'd like to discuss my art.

    Cheers
