Hi I'm an Australian painter and I've succumbed to the aesthetics of nature. I studied art at Prahran College in Melbourne and again at Hobart's Univesity of Tasmania and here I currently reside. I've always loved wilderness and I've become aware of the importance of biodiversity and sustainability in the ecosystem humans have dominated on the recent past. I feel it is better to be creative withinin the patterns and processes of the natual world rather than be destructive from outside. I think we have much to look forward to when we maintain a respect for the many characters that share the natural world with us. I like to represent them as I see them, living and breeding and inspiring me.
