About Me

Your imagination is your preview to lifes coming attractions!
Hey Hey! I'm an Aussie artist with a vivid imagination and a passion for colour. So....imagine if you will, a fictional world, a fictional race of people with fictional beliefs & values unlike our own, in a fictional past, present & future......Got there yet??
I believe art can be it's own language. It can speak in volumes and people will understand it. The impact of art is under estimated at times, yet in some instances art has changed history!
My work is representational of another world, race, time, era..etc.. and each painting is a message in their own language to their civilization.

I've mainly been exploring the possibilites of numerous paintings on one canvas to tell stories through the use symbolic references, vibrant colours & textures. Past, present & possibly future cultures feature prominantly as does the number 3.
I hope you enjoy my page and feel free to add me to your friends list. Plus check out the other awe-inspiring artists and creative people in my top friends list.

Currently in Auckland NZ until the end of January08. Hopefully will get time for some painting. Lots of inspiration over here!!
