Gallery and garden visits, events & boutique weddings
Artist’s Biography
Born 1949, Dandenong, Vic Australia.
My art draws from my observation of life, so is a social and environmental commentary with an interest in the contemporary derived from the past.
I see visual awareness and self expression as an important aspect of education.
Many of my works are genre subjects including figures drawn from the everyday, the diverse, the uniform and the unique.
Nature studies relate to conservation issues.
There is a simplification of style with limited colour palette in each work.
Digital imagery is an experimental tool before I begin the painting process.

Artworks & Gallery Garden
My artworks and photography complement the rare 10-acre botanic garden bordering the Cockatoo Creek at Gembrook in Victoria, Australia. The garden provides a sacredness to nature, an abundance of colour, textures & sounds, making it the perfect backdrop for intimate weddings, picnics and events.
“Have you always wanted something unique for your special day?
Since 2018, the gardens and gallery have been available to hire for intimate boutique weddings up to 35 people or wedding photography. Colour is a feature, especially in Spring & Autumn, and the wildlife corridor is a haven for birds.”
