My recent work has been directly influenced by the place in which I live...the dry schlerophyll bush land on the north of Bruny Island. The rocky shores and isolated bays of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel provide inspiration for my drawings, prints and mixed media pieces.

This fragile land and coast line continues to be changed by our impact as the desire for development and tourism occurs here as in other places.

Drought, the impact of years of grazing and land-clearing, salinity, erosion and the destruction of natural habitat impacts on us as residents and especially on the wildlife and marine creatures we share this place with.
