Like most artists I like to experiment with different mediums. My primary practice is painting and drawing. I use oil paints (usual without any medium except for turps), watercolour and inks. The last few years have seen me introduce collage into my work. I work on canvas ,paper and really anything else that interests me as a surface. I find inspiration from many sources: people, dreams, overheard conversations, myths and fables. Through my work I explore concepts that intrigue me or events that I have witnessed. During the last 12 months I have been involved in the Free Art Movement (https://www.facebook.com/FreeArtFriday) an international movement where artists choose to leave a piece of art on the street to be found by anyone. I love the concept of \"random acts of kindness\" and this is one way for me to practice. I also like to hope someone may be pleasantly surprised for a moment on their travels. IFree art Friday has been a means of having contact with other artists from all over the world. I have left free art in the US, England,France Denmark,Greece ,Indonesia, Australia and even Iceland. I have just completed a 6 month art residency with Brand X. As part of this residency I organised a massive free art drop to celebrate Mardi Gras. Check out free art friday sydney on facebook
