An Australasian Artist 
             
based ​ in Melbourne, Australia              

CONTACT


Painter, sculptor and mixed media artist.​
Born and raised in Papua New Guinea and have resided in New Zealand and Australia spanning the last four decades.
​The landscapes, wildlife and culture of all three countries influence my art at both a conscious and subconscious level.
My formative years in Papua New Guinea are the foundation of my style of drawing and painting,
​and still remain a major source of  inspiration.

Fact and fiction storytelling combined with optical illusions, clashing and strongly saturated colours, disparate designs and visual distortions all appeal to my sense of humour and belief systems. 
I believe that drawing and painting can be a portal through which to engage the creative potential of the unconscious mind. 
I sit, in theory and practice alongside the Symbolists of the late 19th Century, who advocated the expression of an idea, rather than a realistic interpretation.
