About

I was born in Sydney where I lived until I graduated from University in 1972. I immediately set about conquering the world by stepping on it all, I travelled abroad, settling longer in Sweden and the USA. I returned to Sydney to attend art school in 1976 and had my first one person show in 1984 after which I returned to Sweden for a time. Two more shows in Sydney in the late ‘80s before I moved to the tropics, as a bicentennial project.

I'm retired from gainful employment, which makes me a full-time artist. I'm working chiefly with adobe illustrator these days, while always having some assemblage on the go. I swim year round and have the goal of completing 1500 metres in 100 different olympic pools before I die. I'm also a tinkerer, a misfit, and a dilettante. I wish for everyone, a good mood.
