ABOUT THE ARTIST

My introduction to porcelain painting came in the early 1990s and I have been an enthusiastic china painter since that time.

My work is exhibited mainly in Western Australia where I have received several trophies and awards. Including a Best Exhibitor's Sash from the Perth Royal Show, Best Exhibit awards and President's Choice Award from the West Australian Guild of China Painters and several President’s Trophies and Best at Show awards from the Wanneroo Agricultural Society’s annual shows.

Having the opportunity to live and travel through the Australian Outback, particularly remote regions of central and northern Australia has been a major influence on me and my work.  Also many years spent scuba diving was a wonderful opportunity to experience and explore the fascinating marine environment off the West Australian coast, again a significant influence.

Through my membership in the WA Guild of China Painters I participate in many local china painting exhibitions and events. I am a past President and Vice President of the Guild and I'm currently the Guild's Webmaster.

My next exhibition will be 'In the Line of Fire' to be held in August 2012 at the Guildford Village Potters Gallery - visit the News Page for more details. For information on other upcoming activities see the Calendar of Events page.
