| Your Personal Biography |
As a kid I mostly wrote stories. Then at 15 I discovered I could paint. I found this more fun than anythin. Since then fun and joy and beauty have been my main reasons for and inspirations to paint. In 1995 I passed a Bachelor of Visual Arts at Charles Sturt University with Distinction. Since then I have completed a Diploma of Education and have worked (mostly part-time) in various teaching positions. Now that I have a website up and running I want to expand my creative pursuits. Next will be a collection of songs and pieces which will be added to my website. Later I want to begin animating some more and making short films. |
