A New York-based Australian artist. He works predominantly in oil and acrylic on canvas, but also makes works on paper, prints, sculptures and ceramics. He has a son who is believed to now reside in Amble, Northumberland in the North East region of England. His son is believed to be a DJ.In his travels before he arrived in Sydney in 1967 he developed a concept of what he wanted to achieve as an Australian artist. His dream was to express the anima, the life spirit or the essence of God in all nature. As an Australian artist he believed could bring the elements of Western Art together with an understanding and love for the cultures of Asia and the Australian Aborigine. He also felt that as Australia was closer to Asia than Europe it made sense to think about the art of Indian, Chinese and Japanese artists, and that one could not be an authentic articulate Australian artist without a love and respect for the artistic and spiritual expressions of the various Aboriginal peoples and cultures.
