I'm an artist living on the beautiful Mornington Peninsular in Melbourne with my best mate Kuma a 6yr Golden Retriever. I paint a large range of subject matter but my favourite has always been wildlife. I graduated from Melbourne school of art and went to work as a a graphic designer for many years, keeping fine art as a hobby. After falling ill a number of years ago i was forced to stop working...a blessing in disguise that gave me the time to indulge in painting and drawing to my heart's content. I work in traditional mediums but a year back began to do some digital work which i found exciting. Now most of my work is created in digital painting programs using a Wacom Cintiq as my canvas. I love combining my fine art skills with technology allowing me to explore the inner depths of my imagination while also painting the animals i love. I use my art to help raise awareness and funds, for various endangered species and rescue organisations. Thanks for the opportunity to help Great Apes.
