Born at Stawell Victoria in 1945 I grew up in the Wimmera town of Glenorchy, as a boy I was influenced by the love of the bush into a lifelong association with the natural history of birds.
My keeness for drawing birds has been with me ever since leaving school and becoming a Forest Officer in the state of Victoria working in the Grampians area for 35 years.
During this time my artwork has never waned, now that I am semi retired I am busier than ever on private commissions that tend to take up 80% of my painting output of watercolour artworks.
Over the years I have held exhibitions, won numerous awards and been featured in the Australian Artist. I now live at Cavendish on the south west corner of the Grampians in the Western District where I have a studio attached to the house.
I view every new painting as the next challenge to look forward to.

Have been with gallery247 for 6 years, both free and now paid. Wonderful on line platform for artists which has made my work easy to find and i don't need to worry about setting up my own website; they even forwarded a message from a community college i volunteered for a few years ago, for an art tutor.
