Untitled
Here’s one from last century, circa 1988-89. From my days at art school. Dry point on wax on paper. A technique that I developed to produce unique images using traditional intaglio techniques that did not have resulting multiples / reproductions.
The architect
Wade in the water
I grew up in outback NSW in a vast and flat landscape of scrubland and red soil plains. It was the landscape of painters like Williams, Nolan, Olsen, Boyd and Drysdale to name a few. A time when rivers were not yet a commodity and when the pulse of the land could be felt in your feet.

“You see, I have this dog….“
Despite being completely mad, she really is adorable.
Why, only just the other day….
There’s a back catalog of hundreds of drawings, paintings and prints that belong to the body of work produced; along with photographic media, over the years that encompass my creative practice. For whatever reason now seems to be as good a time as any to start to include them here.
Gosper’s Mountain fire
It’s the end of August and already there have been 5 out of control fires in our watch area. It’s a stark reminder that this is how the previous devastating fire season started here in NSW.
The Gospers Mountain fire destroyed more than 444,000 hectares from the western border of the Blue Mountains to the Central Coast hinterland, north to the Hunter Valley and south to the Hawkesbury and past the Bells Line of Road. This fire burned through ancient Gondwanaland forest that had not seen fire activity for thousands of years. It took over 3 months to contain the blaze.
