About

I am a visual artist who was born in Bathurst, New South Wales. My artworks are mounted fully reversible and can be removed without harm as the framing does not permanently alter the work. I rout my own simple museum-profile mouldings, in two sizes, using New Guinea rosewood, a renewable plantation timber. The frames are sanded, stained and beeswax finished by hand. I gave up my artwork between 2012 and 2018 because I was fully engaged writing a two-volume history of architecture book, ‘Building Bathurst’, which I completed in October 2017. Over 844 pages, the two full-colour highly illustrated volumes took five years to write and, as something I always wanted to attempt, it reflects my lifelong love of history. The book pays homage to the numerous nineteenth-century architects and builders who built my historic hometown of Bathurst, NSW — the oldest inland settlement in Australia.
