A short history of my career

I my teens a twelve months course of Commercial Art was followed by a five year apprenticeship in Signwriting, mural painting and general display including silk screen printing. Working under a Master Craftsman the why’s and how’s were drummed into me until the end of my apprenticeship. After another five years I started my own Sign Company and for the next twenty nine years contracted work for many large firms including nine years painting and signwriting advertising on eighty buses per year (pre vinyl days). In 1990 I moved my family to Queenslandand worked as the in-house Scenic Artist/Signwriter for Warner Bros Movie World on the Gold Coast for fourteen years until my retirement. After a few years and painting some family portraits my passion for painting was renewed and I began painting exclusively with Acrylics. Soon Oils crept back and I was shortly producing a continuous string of artworks. In 2011 I joined the Royal Queensland Art Society (Gold Coast Branch) where I exhibited and sold many paintings and won many awards. I now have paintings in most Australian states, New York and France and have completed commissions here in Australia. I paint all genres such as Seascapes, Landscapes, Still Life an Nature and will post worldwide.
