About Me

I live at Yamba, which is on the Far North Coast of New South Wales. Originally from Sydney and moved to beautiful Yamba almost five years ago.

I studied Art at the East Sydney Technical College for four Years (now known as the National Art School) I studied many forms of Art, Mediums, Painting, Drawing, Sculpture, Lettering, Print Making, Photography etc.

I am now a retired Graphic Artist, however, I still design and create Web Sites and Corporate Identities, Logos, Stationery for friends.

Digital Photography is a passion of mine and I am an experienced "Photoshop" user, creating many original and imaginative forms of "Manipulated" Digital Art.

Drawing, Painting, Sculpting, Writing, take up a major part of my leisure time . . . I am always creating or building something.

I have never belonged to a "Swap" group before and am a complete "Beginner" at this, but am looking forward to getting started.

Hoping to meet some creative friends along the way.

Oh! . . . and by the way . . . My little "Swap Bot" Icon is of one of my Paintings . . . Hope you like!

In General

I consider myself to be a very creative person, and I'm "ALWAYS" thinking about my next project!

It is not unusual for me to have 5, 7, 10 projects, at any one time, in progress at various stages of completion.

At present, I am working on several Pastel Paintings.

I am very very happy with my "Ratings" so far. As at 20 May 2013, I have completed NINE ATC's and have received nine 5's and nine hearts :)

I am also "Sand Casting" - various sized, Plaster Wall hangings, Plaques and Garden Art.

I'm sculpting a "Baby Dolphin" from Hebel, which is an aerated concrete product. I'm also working on an "Elephant" sculpture from the same product - Hebel. Both of which are quite large and coming along nicely.

I really enjoy Landscaping as well and have built many "Structures" in my yard . . . Including two timber "Shade Houses", timber "Bench" seats with storage below. A concrete paved fish pond with a fountain. A brick, rendered, "Built-in" B.B.Q and a timber, "Railway Sleeper" Sculpture, just to mention a few.

I love gardening as well . . . But not so much the pretty, pretty flower type gardens. I have a gorgeous swimming pool and my yard is planted with many "Tropical" plants, which creates a very "Holiday" like ambience.

As you can probably tell by my still "incomplete" Profile . . . there is not much that I don't put my hands to, so to speak . . .

Anyway, I am sure that I will have plenty of time to fulfill my Swap-bot commitments and am looking forward to doing so!

MY PROMISE

I can ASSURE . . . That I put no less than 100% into EVERYTHING that I do.

Comment: I was breathless when I opened your package. To casually receive fine art in the mail, is just the coolest thing. I am pretty sure these will not be put in my book but rather framed and put on the wall...thank you for sharing yourself and your talent with me, us at swapbot. Just beautiful!! Thanks again.
Response: I am overwhelmed and honoured with your comments. I also feel quite proud that you rate my work as "Fine Art" and thrilled that you might frame and hang my paintings. Once again, thank you for appreciating my work :)
