Project Examples: Family law Court, Parramatta. In 1990, commissioned to produce 12 watercolour images to be hung in the public spaces of the new building. The works were required to be colourful, cheerful, non-controversial in subject matter, or to display or imply any anger or aggression. They were required to have a calming effect. I produced 12 scenes of colonial Parramatta and environs, depicting everyday life in those times.
Over many years I have produced images in paint and print of the Great Barrier Reef. Particular emphasis has been placed on the wildlife of Northern Queenland and the implied threat of climate change and pollution to the underwater life of the region. Reef images were used on banners and street signs produced by Perc Tucker Regional Gallery, Townsville, to advertise their “Reef” exhibition in 2016.

Memorare of the Snow. In 2007 I was commissioned to provide a history painting for St Gregory’s College, Campbelltown. It was to be an inspiration to the boys in its content and provide an art statement to reinforce the importance of culture in their lives. The theme related to the founder of the Marist Brothers, Marcellin Champagnat. The 140 cm x 190 cm work, anoil on linen painting, now hangs in the school’s Assembly Hall. The headmaster also commissioned the production of a limited edition etching that raised money for the school. I also designed the school’s ceremonial banners.

Four history paintings are now part of the collection of the Perc Tucker Regional Gallery, Townsville. They relate to the first positive contact between the original inhabitants of the area and European settlers. James Morrill, a young Englishman, survived a shipwreck on the reef in 1842, reached the shore, and was taken in and sheltered by the local aboriginal people. He lived among them for the next seventeen years, finally re-joining the European community. It is a story of the meeting of two cultures, and the works provide a narrative in the course of reconciliation.

Feather Map Project. In 2016 I was approached by the University of New South Wales (UNSW) to prepare imagery that would help them to spread the message of the Feather Map project which they were undertaking in conjunction with the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). They required an informative poster, depicting a number of threatened bird species. The images needed to be sufficiently accurate to enable identification and the work was translated into a very effective poster that has been widely distributed.

Wetland Project. My work over the past couple of years has had an emphasis on wetland preservation. I have depicted in oils and acrylics, the birds and animals that depend on healthy wetlands for survival. Over 50 images were exhibited in a very well received one-woman show called “Teeming with Life, The Wongaloo Project” at the Perc Tucker Gallery Townsville. Bungendore Woodworks Gallery showed this work in an exhibition called “Teeming with Life, care of wetlands”. Many of these images are now exhibited in the Blacktown Hospital as part of the combined hospital art program.

Other works:

  • Design of the Bicentennial toile and Macquarie toile in 2008. Royalties emanating from the printing and sale of these fabrics were directed to the Historical Society.
  • Design of the Mary MacKillop toile, produced for the Sisters of St Joseph to raise funds to assist in the beatification of Sister Mary MacKillop.
  • Design of tissue boxes for Kimberly Clark. The novel pedestal incorporated in the designs was a world first and are still employed across the Kimberly Clark range.
  • Design of the Waratah(s) depicted on the NSW driver’s licence. (a cooperative project between the Roads and Traffic Authority and Olivetti, employing hologram technology for the first time in the world for such an application).
  • Design of the sculptural embroidery “Resonances of Inspiration” for Penrith City Council, featured in the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre.
  • Design of an Australian Design Award winning letterbox for Morris Productions.
  • Commission from Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet to provide one of three limited edition prints for a package presented to the 21 Heads of State attending the 2007 APEC meeting in Sydney.
  • Mural at PLC, Concord, in collaboration with students.
  • Portraits of prominent Australians for many private and public collections.

Proficiency and professional skills.

I am a recognized teacher and public speaker. I work in a number of mediums and teach these skills to many levels. Some of these skills include printmaking in the areas of lithography, etching, and relief block technique; Oil painting and acrylic painting in landscape, portrait and still life; and watercolour and graphic techniques. As a citizen scientist, I work with others to draw attention to environmental issues and have illustrated many books and articles and posters. I have executed many major design projects that have been successful. I have the necessary skills and some complementary ones to do most commissions that come my way.

Hobbies and interests: Apart from art, my interests include reading, gardening, bushwalking, travelling to learn about the world and art, camping, environment issues, and history research. I have a particular interest in lighthouses and marine art.

Artist Statement

Whilst I have always been a versatile artist producing portraits, still life paintings and landscapes in various mediums that include oil, water colour and etchings I have always been very preoccupied with travel and landscape.

When researching my book " Australia, an artist's journey through the landscape" I became aware of how few iconic images Australians have to celebrate our nation as we have only been in this place a short time.

I live near the Royal National Park which is the second oldest National park in the world, so I have generated some landscapes from this area to add to my impressions of Australia.

Since colonial times Sydney-siders have toured the park and it was a favourite spot to take a "car for a spin" in the early days of the automobile.

The old boat-shed at Audley Weir is where so many Australians met and had picnics so I felt obliged to paint it in a representational manner befitting its history. I shall always be looking at ways of expressing my love for Australia.

I like to take a broad sweep in my paintings then examine the subject thoroughly in drawing and etchings.
