ARTIST BIO

I have been connected with art all my life, from my first job as a Sign artist, where I specialised in pictorial advertising. Along the way this gave me the ability and confidence to paint most kinds of subject matter.

During 1975 I was commissioned to paint huge murals for the movie and entertainment business in Florida USA. A contract that lasted some eleven months.

In 1980 My family and I emigrated to Australia, where I eventually formed my own company in Sign Advertising, mainly promoting new Video and Audio releases for companies around Victoria.

I had always been interested in wildlife since a child, and decided that wildlife art would be my main subject matter, the new challenge to study and paint the wildlife of Europe, Australia, and Africa.

In the 1980's I became a member of the Australasia Artist society winning many major awards.

In 2010 I was commissioned by Maxwell & Williams Fine Bone China to do a series of paintings (Birds of Australia) for their Home Ware Products, which are now available around the world.

Most of my artworks are painted in Water Colour, Acrylics, and Oils. on the appropriate substrates.

Apart from Wildlife Art I also paint Portraits and Nudes.

If a subject doesn't challenge my abilities as an artist, then I'm not interested in considering it.
