The most recent painting has just been completed in the Melbourne Covid Lockdown #4. This Acrylic painting measuring 90cm x 90cm could almost represent life as it is right now. We are not permitted to walk on the hill because it is more then 5km away. Locked in our homes for two weeks I cannot really complain with time to create my memories. This painting is for sale for $1800. Available soon at Seaford gallery Aquire in the month of June 2021.

I was recently asked to do a photo shoot for NAVA (National Association for the Visual Arts). I was a recipient of the ABF ( Artists Benevolent Fund). This award helped me to get my framing coat paid for a show after Covid lockdown. I am so appreciative to all the sponsors and to NAVA for believing in me.

Olivers Hill
Acrylic on Canvas,
120 x 90cm
​SOLD

This year I sold one of my most cherished works. I used to live on this amazing hill in Frankston South. I went to Frankston High School and spent my youth on Frankston Beach jumping off the pier. I would ride my bike down the hill, with no helmet and pretend to fly. Now a days we cannot ride without a helmet or down the hill and I can understand why. Someone who loves Olivers Hill and walks it every day bought the painting. I know he will cherish it for the rest of his life. I am not sure if I will ever do another one like it because I don't like doing the same painting twice. I am instead immortalizing it here in my website blog.
