When you are formulating your calendar for demos and workshops etc please keep my information in your files.

I have been conducting demonstrations and tutored workshop experiences throughout Victoria and interstate for many years. I am accredited with the Australian Guild of Realist Artists as a workshop tutor and judge. Brenda Innes , manager at Australian Guild of Realist Artists will be able to recommend me if you are not familiar my work or check my website. I exhibit in many Victorian Art Shows and galleries and have a working gallery at the above address in Healesville.

I realize many of you will already have organized  demonstrators and tutors for the year, but I am available for fill in positions if I am not booked up.

I have included a few examples of more recent paintings.

I paint a modern realistic style in Oils and Pastel

I am also accredited with the Australian Guild of Realist Artists as an art show judge.

I was tutored in the field of portraiture and spent 5 years intensively studying this area. My studies began with tonal realism and progressed into my own interpretation of this style. I have won many awards for my portrait and still life work in oil and pastel and my life drawings, character studies of entertainers and costumed people have been rewarded on numerous occasions

I have painted outdoors for many years and have learned to interpret the landscape in all its moods and seasons. Painting trips have been an important base for my development. There is so much to learn about a given subject surrounded by other artists who all tackle their paintings from completely different perspectives. I paint outdoors at ever opportunity.

The workshops and demonstrations that I offer can be tailor made to suit your society or groups needs but I usually find that the workshops, as listed adequately fill most needs. Two day hands on workshops with a demonstration to begin with and an appraisal session on the last afternoon seem to profit most students the best. But of course that is up to you.
