I have won the following prizes: Highly

Commended for the St Paul’s Annual

Art Prize and Best Depiction of a Local

Feature at the Changing Landscapes and

People Art Competition for the Lexton

Landcare art exhibition. I have also won

Second and Third Prize in the Red Ribbon

Art Competition and Exhibition in 2008

and 2010 respectively. I also won the Print

Excellence Award at the Pink Lady Art

Exhibition and Charity Event.

I have also designed CD covers

for bands and educational materials

for education services. I also like to

photograph gigs and have done so for

various bands including: Russia, Attack of

the Mannequins, Sadhana, X, Dollsquad,

Ennis Tola, Ten Thousand, Bugdust, Pretty

Suicide and more. I also do some wedding

photography as well. Furthermore, my

artworks are part of various collections

and I’ve had articles about my artwork in

various local newspapers.

My art technique is pretty much

inspired by the Expressionist movement

• particularly from Germany including
  die Brücke und der Blaue Reiter. My
  compositions are about expressing emotion
  rather than to represent external reality.
  Moreover, my paintings are characterised
  by the use of symbolism, and of
  exaggeration and distortion. Depending on
  my mood and the subject of the painting
  I also like to apply bright, bold colours.
  Sometimes, I only apply a monochromatic
  palette. I keep my palette fairly lean as I
  am not particularly interested in painting
