Sydney, Australia

In 2020 I contributed work to a group show in Mona Foma in Tasmania. In 2019 I was selected for a year residency with Waverley Artist Studios. I held a solo show of my monochrome paintings at Stacks Projects in Kings Cross. I curated a group show at Airspace Projects in Marrickville. And I contributed to a number of group shows. In 2017 and 18 I undertook and completed a Master of Fine Arts at the National Art School in Sydney. In 2016 I participated in The Other Art Fair in Sydney and was invited to be a feature artist by Saatchi Art, the international sponsors. Also in 2016, I did my own show of still life work. The video here outlines my approach to my work at that stage. I have prints and paintings in collections including the Australian National Gallery and Print Council of Australia. I've been awarded traveling scholarships by the The Netherlands Government and University of Canberra.

I design and teach art education programs for children ages 5 to 17 years. The programs are based on the four fundamental foundations to art making: Drawing, Painting, Printing, and Sculpture. Drawing is at the heart of all the programs. Whilst there are now many private kids art classes in Sydney, the program at Creativity Unlimited is based on my many years teaching art internationally, the training I've done with institutions such as Harvard University, Reggio Emilia in Italy, and Sydney College of the Arts, and on my own experience as an artist. The aim is provide quality, professional art education and to give children the opportunity to explore their own creativity. (We are committed to provide an environment that is rich in possibilities and a strong support for the subtle and joyful process of creative expression.)

Amsterdam Area, Netherlands

I designed and taught art education programs to children years - Kindergarten to Year 12. I co-wrote the 'Scope and Sequence' of the Primary Years Program Arts curriculum for the International Baccalaureate Organization. This is the art program used in International Schools throughout the world. I completed further training in both education and art education - with Harvard University, the Open University of London, and Reggio Emilia in Italy. (Time Magazine named Reggio Emilia as the best kids art school in the world. Reggio Emilia nurtures creative potential and sees kids as artists in their own right, rather than empty vessels that need filling up with information.)

I set up my own business in Amsterdam teaching adults the basic principals of drawing - through life drawing.
