I started taking painting and drawing classes and painting in oil as a small child and later on I studied at Adelaide Central School of Art with some great Australian artists like Chris Orchard or Anna Platten. I lived in Adelaide and Melbourne and exhibited in Sydney. Currently living in Brasov.

Painting transports me back into a childlike frame of mind because painting was my chief solace as a child. My work gives voice to the child in each of us and explores the buried domain of some deep, instinctive self. It tells the story of something you inhabit - not something outside you, from which you cannot stand apart.

It is all about time and memory. Memory becomes the substitute of reality, it creates a new reality which is more real than the reality. Memory is what confers us real existence. Memory keeps only what is characteristic, striking and essential in the object, memory is the reservoir of preserving the essence.

Memory is inseparable of time. Time changes places and people inevitably, but does not alter the images we have retained of them. These images become true reality in our life.

Particular places can be seen as stores of memories, as archives of the particular instances that help to determine us as singular selves.
