Art Philosophy
Illuminated by dreams, observation and introspection my works reflect on questions of meaning and significance, both personal and social.
Focus of the recent exhibitions
The recent photographic works tend toward
the surreal and speak of the unacknowledged,
inviting us to ponder how much lies beyond the surface of things.
Education
Box Hill Institute, Dip. Visual Art
Monash University B.A. M.Sc. Ph.D.
Experience
Academic and project manager in science and IT before turning to art in 2001 as a means of expression and psycho-social comment. I have successfully exhibited photography, digital art and painting since graduating in Fine Art in 2003.
