Artworks lined our family home where I grew up, oil paintings, pencil sketches, watercolours and lino-cuts. Most done by family members set amongst the occasional Norman Lindsay piece.

I had little idea at the time what the significance of being surrounded by art at such a young age would have on my life & career. 

Early on, drawing and painting was where I found most enjoyment. Surreal and hyperrealistic styles caught my imagination. Artists such as Jeffrey Smart particularly influenced my work. 

However after being introduced to photography, I knew it was the perfect creative process for me. 

Learning to see light and how it can be crafted to convey an atmosphere or an emotion totally changed my perspective. I wanted to capture what I felt and saw, drawn to finding unexpected beauty in the familiar.

20 years later, the same things inspire me and keep me hungry to create powerful, authentic work.

I've been very fortunate to work with some of the best Creatives and Stylists around. They have taught me you can't beat the power of collaborating with like-minded people.
