My friend Julie encouraged me to get back into painting realism. I have had a bit of a hiatus. But finally got a hankering to paint after a conversation with her. Thanks Julie.

I was born in Sydney, Australia and from the age of six always had a pencil in my hand. I pursued art through school that led to an exhibition of drawings that toured New South Wales. I became artistically sidetracked when I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree at Sydney University and a PhD at London University. After moving to the United States to further my scientific career, I rediscovered my passion for drawingin 2001; during a personal tragedy. Art once again was my friend.I love graphite but I enjoy drawing with colored pencil. More recently I have introduced Pan Pastels into my art.
Science is reflected in my art. "To me art and science are one. I pursue my art the way I pursue a scientific experiment, with research and detailed knowledge of the subject."
