Artist Statement

I am a Melbourne based painter with over 40 years exhibiting history. I work mainly in oils as well as doing a lot of drawings in ink, pastel and gouache. I divide my time between working in the studio and going out on location. 

My subject matter comes from close to home. Local landscapes, family faces and things around the house are the sorts of things I like to paint.

The Alphington Paper Mills have been an ongoing motif for some time now.  I must have done over 200 paintings and drawings of them by now.  It’s a challenge to capture this fast-changing industrial landscape.  I use a vigorous, expressionistic painting technique that I hope reflects what is happening to the site.
