"A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness"

- John Keats

Winner of the Phoenix Prize for Spiritual Art 2007 for "Emergence 1: The Transfiguration".

I have a very direct way of working, and my process of mark making is very much like action painting where the work comes from deep within my psyche.

More and more my work has a strong spiritual basis. You can see this in my work for the Lake Gathering group exhibition which was held at the ANCA Gallery in Canberra in March/April 2008.

This spiritual reality is leading to a series of landscapes and other conceptual work based on 'nothingness'.
