I display my work in exhibitions, cafes and businesses around South Australia and enjoy selling to art collectors who have bought and commissioned my work not only locally, but interstate and overseas too.  To date, I would say the most popular requests are for my animal illustrations and portraiture which I absolutely love to create for my clients.


I also love to loosen up a bit with my abstract impressionism.  I have fun with using unconventional tools to create lines and patterns across the canvas with the odd flick and splash of paint here and there.  Watch out anything in the firing line, you will get splatters of paint on you!


In a nutshell, I am 'in my zone' when I'm creating.  It's what I love to do, it's me, it's who I am

Oh, and finally, why 'Nibs'?   Well, it's a nickname I've had since childhood and it doesn't get more complicated than that!
