I am an emerging sculptor exploring diverse art forms. After a hiatus, I rekindled my passion, embarking on a dedicated artistic journey. With a foundation in electrical, drawing, and painting, I intuitively grasp composition and texture. Nature’s interplay with humanity inspires me to incorporate organic elements, while unconventional materials add sustainability and narrative depth. Sculpting transforms, as artists and mediums collaborate, breathing life into each piece. My goal is to evoke emotions, spark conversations, and contribute to the vibrant tapestry of sculptural art, invoking transformative experiences. My art journey began in the vibrant city of Melbourne, Australia, which is known as Naarm in the Boonwurrung and Woiwurrung languages of the Wurundjeri people, the Traditional Owners of the land. I was born and raised in this culturally diverse and artistic city, which has had a profound impact on my creative development. Melbourne is a city known for its thriving arts scene, with a plethora of galleries, museums, and artistic events. From a young age, I was exposed to a wide range of artistic styles and disciplines, which ignited my passion for…

I live at Main Creek, on a farm with my horses and dogs, and work in a variety of two and three dimensional media. The connecting thread is my appreciation for the incongruous, odd or strange discovered in my life and surroundings, which I often explore with loud, vivid colour palettes and unusual subjects. I adore finding and pointing out the weirdness in things both little and large- my wild, whimsical crochet hats are prime examples! I have lived and worked at Main Creek, near Dungog for nearly 30 years, but I was born in Kyogle in 1963. I left there as a baby and have lived almost my entire life in the Hunter, mostly in rural areas with my horses, but I also spent some time in Newcastle, at high school and while studying Art at TAFE in the 1980’s. Since then I have exhibited paintings, mixed media works on paper, and sculptures at galleries, agricultural shows and later, online. I work in a variety of media, but there is a consistent theme throughout, relating to my environment- the…

I am an established South Australian sculptor who has developed a unique signature language over twenty two years of studio practice. I have exhibited widely throughout Australia and abroad, including the production of major public sculpture installations.  Overall, my work can be read as a poetic portrayal of our shared human experience and the quest to chart a meaningful journey through life. ‘Voyage into being’ extends upon the ‘Voyager’ series of works that I have developed over the past decade which aim to symbolically portray a mind/body relationship and the overarching journey of consciousness throughout one’s life. ‘The Eagle and the Serpent II’ extends upon the ‘Voyager’ series of works that I have developed over the past decade which aim to symbolically portray a mind/body relationship and an overarching journey of consciousness throughout one’s lifetime.

After completing secondary education in 1991, I spent…

“Teal Shells” emphasises the urgency to preserve our oceans. The artwork portrays the oceans as a sphere, symbolising the vast and undiscovered world beneath the surface, which holds immense significance in sustaining life on planet Earth. It serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of our oceans in our existence. The piece advocates for a deeper understanding and appreciation of the oceans’ power and influence on our lives. It calls for responsible stewardship and the need to safeguard this precious resource that we currently take for granted. Hand built using clay, the shells collected and moulded from Stockton beach.

I am a Central Coast hobby sculptor and welder. I have a passion for wildlife and also the environment. My art represents a vision for a globally conscious world, utilising only recycled and repurposed products to create unique sculptures. Born in 1964 I grew up in Sydney. I have had a number of different careers ranging from the Police to building custom Motorcycles and Hot Rods. My passion in welding inspired me to start using some of my old tools and car parts lying around to repurpose into sculptures. I started creating steampunk lamps and repurposed sculptures approximately 10 years ago. Now residing on the beautiful Central Coast a lot of my work is inspired by Coastal themes and local wildlife. This is the only Exhibition Entered. 5 Lands Walk – Avoca 2022

I have recently started sculpting in the medium of welded metal. Early pieces were decorative, figurative works. More recently I have been experimenting with more expressive forms as my education and vocabulary expands. Born in London in 1960 to an artistic family. Now that I have the luxury of more time and a shed I have commenced exploring the creation of welded works. Nil Dungog Sculpture on the Farm is my first exhibition.
