About my photos

Although I use a digital workflow, my images are not post-manipulated to create their dreamy aesthetic. What you see is what I capture at the time of exposure – apart from some minor spotting.

I have been working as a lens-based artist since the late 80’s when I trained as a photographer. Since then my work has also incorporated video and installation.

Curriculum vitae

My work has been exhibited extensively in public galleries and artist-run-spaces in Australia. I have received numerous awards and been a finalist in many prestigious prizes.

Take a closer look

The detail, scale and lushness of my images is so much richer in real life. Most of my images are printed on metallic chromogenic paper which resembles the depth and seductiveness of Cibachrome – a positive to positive process.

If you are local to Melbourne and would like to see a print get in touch. I am happy to organise a private viewing – COVID restrictions permitting.

Acknowledgement

In the spirit of reconciliation I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. I pay my respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
