ABOUT MYSELF
I am a draftsman and live with my family at Angels Beach, Ballina. When I was eleven or twelve I joined my first painting class with a teacher named Vera Blythman and have been painting on and off ever since. My preferred medium is watercolour, although I will turn to oils or pastels for a change. Many of my watercolours are painted on location, often the most effective method of achieving a loose and fresh painting. Works are presently for sale at Armistead's Gallery, Wyrallah Road, Lismore - Phone 02 6622 8011.
