In past years I have been influenced so much by the Impressionist artists, whom I studied extensively during my art training, and the study of Art History at the Queensland University. It is only now that I have found my true métier and have discovered an individual style that is truly my own. I use some of the latest digital technology with which I have become proficient, together with other mixed media. I listen to a piece of music extensively, to absorb the message of the composer, and do a great deal of research about the piece.   Thus I produce my present works of art.                                     RETURN TO HOME PAGE >>>
