Art styles that influence  my artistic practice are varied.

Most influential have been Arabesque Art, Celtic Art, Sacred Art, Henna Art, Australian Indigenous Art and  Pixelation.

In addition to painting I also practice in Installation Art and Photography.

For many years I have  participated in numerous Exhibitions.

As my painting pieces are intricate, a painting can take many months to complete and I only ever work on one painting from start to finish at any one time.

Most notable achievements to date have been being short listed for the Blake Art Prize in 2009, 2010 , 2011 and I was selected for the Blake Art Prize Director’s Cut in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
