Victoria, Australia
I am driven and passionate artist in the field of fine art photography and new media arts. I bring with me over fifteen years’ experience working in the demanding and challenging arena of secondary school education; consider myself a professional, intelligent and ardent Arts educationalist and mentor. I have vast experience and exposure in not only teaching but my other artistic practice that engages this software, Cinema 4D, Adobe suite, Premier and 3D Studio Max, Adobe After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator but equally in showcasing my own works in solo and group exhibitions using same. My own works focusing on story telling … illustrate my messaging by … using storytelling as a vehicle to illustrate a message. I portray a moment in time, inviting the viewer to imagine themselves in the situation. The stories I want to tell are about moments in all our lives, things that did or might happen. I want for a moment for you to become that character. It's the difference between creating a picture and a strong piece of narrative illustration … a story telling begins.
