I live and work in the hills of northern New South Wales Australia.
As a visual artist my primary focus is as a sculptor. Once a week I attend a life drawing session, and I can't help but point my camera at the changing light and seasons of the country where I live.
This website mostly documents work from the last year or so. I intend to add an archive section of sculpture from 2005 to 2016.
To see documentation of the sculpture [name, date, material and size], click on the thumbnail to see the full size image, and if using a mouse hold the cursor over the work, or on a phone or tablet press the little button to the bottom right the image.
I hope you enjoy what you see.
