I work in oil, on canvas or linen, sometimes on marine ply. 

Painting has always fascinated me. The challenge of creating the illusion of real objects with paint. But especially representing people, the human form. I love the masters, including Velasquez, Vermeer, Waterhouse, Sargent, Degas, Gaugin and plenty of others. But you can forget Picasso!

"Even though I live in the Blue Mountains, I love the city. The Nest provides a place where I can work alone, interact with other artists if I want to and get the stimulation of the city in a really supportive environment."
