Biography

"Artists are generally themselves not driven by ' categories' or ' style' ; and most often are searching for something unfamiliar or out-of-place, so really working against 'categories'

Shaun Tan

I was born in Johannesburg, South Africa to German parents. Later immigrating to Australia as a 9 year old growing up and educated in South West Sydney.

After having a very interesting first career, my career path took me back  into the arts. I am very happy now in the solitude of my arts practice in my secluded studio. 

After completing a Diploma in Fine Arts from South West Sydney Institute of TAFE, majoring in printmaking but loving sculpture as well. With further studies in Printmaking at NAS and Wollongong TAFE, I work between my plastic toy sculptures and my printmaking.

The plastic toy assemblages, disturbing to some, I see as my humorous side and my printmaking is what I consider more my voice.........
