Based in Arthurs Seat and Kew Victoria, I am mainly involved in the finance industry, however maintain a practice in photography.

Mostly covering events and charity functions, Theatre has always been a large interest (Finalist in the Ballarat Photography Biennale “Take a Bow” competition).

I have a keen interest in landscape and travel photography and was a finalist in the Queensland festival of Photography “Space and Place ” competition.

My current series recalls a time when fine artists would be used to create advertising posters (My house is full of Vintage posters). The images reference the familiar format of the advertising poster and have the effect of containing the information you would otherwise search for … The idea of places simply listed in font was a popular motif in recent times. The images probably often show a side to a place that would not normally feature in an ad campaign ( These days….).
