Thank you for visiting my web site. I hope you are enjoying it.
Following are a few words that will give you some information on my background and my direction as an Artist. If you do read this and wish to know more it is simply a matter of sending me an e-mail and asking me a question. I am happy to answer almost any question.

Every Sunday of my 13th year I spent with Carmen Puls, an elderly Artist in the small Victorian town of Great Western (Australia) where I spent my childhood. On these Sundays Carmen not only taught me how to paint in Acrylics, but also introduced me to famous Artists and their paintings through her extensive library of Art books.
While attending these lessons I learnt the skills of observation, composition and the plein air approach and developed a love of art. On occasion I would copy a print of a painting by one of the old masters. It was certainly an incredible experience, when 22 years later I stood in front of the painting "The boyhood of Rayleigh" by Sir John E Millais at the Tate Gallery in London - one of the paintings I had copied on Sundays with Carmen. I only wished that Carmen were there with me.
