Having grown up in Sydney, my work has been strongly influenced by inner city spaces.

During recent years this has gradually changed with man made structures or geometric shapes now becoming integrated into my own world of organic landscapes. This evolution has been inspired by the landscape of north-west N.S.W. where I have now lived for 25 years.
