I paint, because I love to paint. I allow myself the freedom to paint any subject, in any form. I refuse to be restricted by a certain style, or theme, instead I let inspiration, and the moment lead the way.
From drawing dinosaurs, cars and designing football jersey's as a small child, to crazy abstract paint splashes as a big child, Art has always been a part of my life. I studied the traditional masters, and practised their techniques in my early years, but have since broadened my strokes to have the confidence to paint in whatever style inspires me in that moment. I cannot, and will not paint the same style over and over again, there is way too much fun to be had exploring all styles. Art for Art sake!
I am passionate about Art, and I hope that is evident in my work. I have so much more to paint, and it feels like so little time to paint it. I cannot wait to see where my inspiration takes me next.

I completed year 12 in school, with my highest grades consistently achieved in Art. After school I took on a Printing Apprenticeship, working mostly in as Art Department for a National Retail Company. With my Printing Trade completed, I have mostly worked in Art Departments.

I have exhibited in many shows, from larger local events, and small group exhibitions. I held my first solo exhibition last year, in a local Gallery and it was a great success. I plan to do more of these in the future.
