From my earliest memories I have always enjoyed the process of creating art. I spent my primary school holidays with another arty friend drawing and creating with our grey leads and very treasured Derwent pencils. It was from this early start that I realised I had the love of creating detailed artworks. I would spend hours trying to get it to look realistic, left often frustrated because it never looked right to me.
In high school I continued on with my love for creating and by year 12 I achieved top scores and awards in all the art areas including graphics art. It was during this time that my uncle passed away. My Auntie gave me his Yachica camera and an instant love for photography was formed. I finally got the detail I was looking for!

I finished my Diploma in Photography at RMIT in 2003. At the final exhibition my artwork was the only one that sold. This same artwork later went on to be runner up in ANZANG and published in Australian Geographic 'Wild Australasia'.
2003 was also the start of a new era. DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY was unleashed and Photoshop was introduced to me. I ran out and bought myself a Canon 10D. Now I had the ability to create more surreal detailed, manipulated and composited artwork! Bliss!
