I began
my artistic career as a printmaker and sculptor and only took to painting after
spending a year in Europe .A combination of the linear technique in prints the
fragmentation of colour adopted in the sculptural mosaics I worked on early in
my practice and the texture and volume of my sculptures informed the painting
style that developed. In more recent years I took workshops in stop motion
animation, which allowed me use, my modelling skills to create and animate
characters developing video clips for indigenous musician Bart Willoughby and
some animated shorts. Lately I have developing work that takes the style and
technique of my paintings and sculptures to a more environmentally friendly
practice developing collages from everyday household packages exploring
elements of migration multiculturalism and global transience with a ready made
colour pallet and how this has all been affected by the recent global pandemic.I have exhibited regularly in group solo and competition exhibits for the past 25 years
