Art and Creativity is in my blood. My work is often part intuitive, part technical (throwing random colours on a canvas and hoping for the best is defiantly not my style.) I am probably best known for my highly detailed fine line illustrations with a botanical feel. Feathers float in a gossamer layer slightly above the page, giving the image a spiritual feel and meld the world of old with a fresh coat of inspiration. Often taking objects that are found and, sometimes quite ordinary, I… Show more Art and Creativity is in my blood.

I am probably best known for my highly detailed fine line illustrations with a botanical feel. Feathers float in a gossamer layer slightly above the page, giving the image a spiritual feel and meld the world of old with a fresh coat of inspiration. Often taking objects that are found and, sometimes quite ordinary, I love sharing my sense of the world’s magical wonderment.I do love to experiment with different mediums, styles and techniques including: Paints (Oil, Acrylic, Gouache) Inks, Pencil and Photography.To further my expertise, I have studied: Graphical design, Composition and Colour.I have a range of gift cards of my works available for purchase from stores in the Brisbane, Sunshine Coast area, or contact me directly.

From the moment I documented the Annapurna Base Camp trek, I fell in love with the moving pictures. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then thousands of them shown in such rapid seamless succession is priceless. Movies can take on a life of their own. They can make you laugh, cry or just shake your head. Being a writer, it seemed that writing screen plays was as obvious step into the movie industry, but like so much that is obvious, it took a while for the message to sink in.… Show more From the moment I documented the Annapurna Base Camp trek, I fell in love with the moving pictures. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then thousands of them shown in such rapid seamless succession is priceless. Movies can take on a life of their own. They can make you laugh, cry or just shake your head. Being a writer, it seemed that writing screen plays was as obvious step into the movie industry, but like so much that is obvious, it took a while for the message to sink in. The documentary taught me many things about timing and story. Because there is a whole crew behind the production it is important to be a team player. I have begun by writing screen adaptations of my own novels and will post the results when ready. This is a new career path for me and one that has a high risk of not bringing any rewards, but in this case, the doing can be rewarding in itself.I would love to connect with other creative people out there. I thing we make the world a better place. Show less

My first short story was when I was quite young. I’d woken after a dream set in an arid undulating landscape. Tearing pages from the school book and with a blunt pencil I tried to recapture the way the light cast shadows over the hills of my dream. I had only words, but needed to capture the movement of the cloth fragment that had been skewered by a barb on the wire fence. What struck me most about the dream were the vividness and the detail.

Tearing pages from the school book and with a blunt pencil I tried to recapture the way the light cast shadows over the hills of my dream. I had only words, but needed to capture the movement of the cloth fragment that had been skewered by a barb on the wire fence. What struck me most about the dream were the vividness and the detail. Writing had found its way into my blood.As a child, I was intensely curious about the physical world around me and how it worked. It wasn’t safe to leave a toy around when I had a screwdriver in my hand. As I grew, it was people and the world that fascinated me. I believe all good stories have great characters at their cores. Writing supernatural thrillers and humour is my way of taking a screwdriver to people and the world.Being part of a large family, dropped somewhere towards the middle of the field meant developing a high level of resourcefulness. For a time we lived in a rambling house surrounded by an undeveloped field. At the bottom of the yard was narrow track that cut a path of adventure. A foot bridge across a small creek lead to a large psychiatric hospital. This was my playground.Because I write in many styles, I use the pen name ‘Touch la Dark’ for supernatural thrillers and works with darker themes. Other works including humour are written under my own name.Humour was a later discovery, that is to say people have always taken to my dry wit, but it wasn’t until a work colleague suggested that I should put in book form what comes naturally, the result was To Hellia and Back.I have included samples of both.Dead End is an infectious thriller available on Kindle: Search for B071DRHF2DTo Hellia and Back is a SciFi romp and is currently waiting for a publisher.
