BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
I was born in Geelong and live in Melbourne, Australia. In the early 1980s I completed an Arts degree with a major in
Philosophy. It wasn't until my mid-thirties that I began doing art which has from the beginning included both oil painting and mixed media assemblage. Since 2014 I have focussed mainly on wooden sculpture and assemblage with more than the occasional detour into conceptual territory. I would not be surprised if I return to painting in the future,
