1996 - was commissioned to paint 11 major Botanical works for The Ramada Hotel, Saigon
and The Hotel Nikko, Hanoi: Janet Holmes a Court Collection, Perth
I studied Graphic Design in South Africa and worked as a Medical Artist in London, and later as a storyboard artist in the Advertising industry. For many years I painted botanical works as a hobby.
Over the past 20 years I have painted our elegant tree shapes found at Rottnest, and in the paddocks and around the bays of our south west region in Western Australia.
I paint from memory – trees, clouds, reflections, a moon, a star, the ever changing light of day, and most of all, I hope to capture a moment in time.
I have found a saying by the 19th century French photographer,
Louis Daguerre, which says it all for me. “I have seized the light. I have arrested its flight!”
