About

Award winning artist and Gallery Director based in Yallingup, Western Australia

Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of exhibiting and selling my work all across Australia.
My inspiration is drawn from the beauty of the Australian landscape as well as the colours and stories of Africa where I grew up.
