exhibiting artist since 1993. I've done 20 solo exhibitions and 49 group exhibitions around Australia. I mainly do sculpture, but I've also exhibited drawings, prints and paintings. I play music too, so instead of one really overcrowded hard-to-make-a-buck career path, I've got two. Not that I'm complaining, though. It's a good life!
