Photographer. Still, digital and SLR, recording and film making. Video, digital recording and filmmaking. Artist Consultant. Site Specific Public Art and Installations, urban and rural projects.

Method of working: I am frequently employed by local governments on site specific public art projects. I work with arts officers, with non-government project officers, with schools, teachers and students. I also work on a regular basis with community groups. I often work collaboratively with other artists such as architects and landscape architects, as a sculptor, environmental designer and community artist. I work collaboratively on community art projects and am employed at times as an art and design consultant by community groups to develop art and design staged plans. I am also commissioned for private environmental artwork.
Commitment to processes and aesthetic standards: I believe that consultative processes are the most appropriate approach for creative development with artists and with communities. I am fervently committed to the collaborative and consultative processes. Further, I am strongly committed to achieving high standards and impressive aesthetic outcomes in the development of public artwork.
