Sobre el Artista

I grew up in the small Mallee town of Walpeup >situated in the north -western part of Victoria , Australia , between the Little Desert to the south and the Sunset Country to the north,to some indeed gods own country ! At a very young age my parents shaped my interest in the arts and the Great Australian Bush (native vegetation and animals in natural state),I remember as a small child sitting around the breakfast table with sun streaming in though the split bamboo blinds, with my father listening to the A B C radio break fast show with Russ Tisane,when when Romeo and Juliet came on the balcony scene and my father carefully explained the love scene as it unfold on the radio .. There was no T.V at that time and only thing that passed for culture was football and cricket . My father was a great lover of the arts and keep several much treasure art books.As a child i played in the bush straight out side the gate, gaining a great love and understanding of the nature of things and combined with my fathers love of arts . lead me to be a person with a deep spiritual bond with land which i express though my art . Reflecting profound beauty of nature and her many moods .i have long been inspired by the Australian singer John Williamson , because he like me shares the great love and passion for the Australian bush and it's people .
