A little about me

Hi there - I love art and illustration, and storytelling. Because of all my skills and background, I call myself a creative alchemist. I also love music and dance of all kinds.

​

Born in the mid 1950s, I am now in semi-retirement, but have been an artist all my life. I became a qualified graphic designer (commercial artist) over 5 decades ago, adding teaching of art and design to my skills, and later on adding professional qualifications as a transpersonal Art Therapist and Sandplay Therapist and Counsellor, amongst others.

​

  1. Artist & Designer – A painter who creates emotionally powerful artwork.
    My art has either a spiritual basis telling a story, or is whimsical or quirky. My art is often ethereal or features the unseen world.
     

  2. Writer & Storyteller – An author who weaves history, fantasy, and philosophy into a unique narrative. I am currently creating a couple of books which I will self publish. One is a picture book and the other a guided journal with stories and inspiring notes.
     

  3. Personal Growth & Spiritual Guide – Someone who helps others transform their perspectives through individual therapy sessions and online courses. This has been my work with women and children to help bring about inner healing. (My separate website The Heart of Us is here.

​

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy my art and products.

I honour the custodians of sacred stories, of dreamings, and the connections with the deep earth.
As a resident of the beautiful Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia I acknowledge the Dharug and the Gundungurra Nations as the traditional custodians of this beautiful land in which we live and I honour and pay my respects to the Elders past and present and becoming, with blessings of peace.
