About

At the age of 27, I decided to study traditional realist painting at the Florence Academy of Art, after several years of working in architecture.

Graduating after three years of full-time study, I taught at the academy for another two years before returning to Australia where I’m currently residing and painting.

For me, painting is a vehicle that allows me to seek truths & connections, both with the external world around me and internally within me.

Using my training of painting from life in this traditional way, I’m force to slow down to observe and understand what I’m seeing, which in turn allows for the appreciation of the subject, no matter how simple or complex.
