I am an Australian Artist and Designer. I attended the “National Art School” in Sydney Australia, and I was mentored by the likes of Lloyd Rees, Peter Upton, Michael Snape and Michael Buzacott as well as many other notable artists. After graduating I attended Sydney College of the Arts, and did my BA there. I also studied Computer graphics and animation both traditional and 3D. Since that time, I have worked on numerous Art and Design projects, notably Model displays that helped Sydney win the 2000 Olympic games. Doing graphics and animations for the Australian National Rugby League, as well as more traditional artistic events, exhibitions and interactive installations. My personal artwork ranges across different mediums and is highly symbolic utilizing strong graphic motives.
