Little did I know at the time, as a child  running around the laneways and streets of Brunswick and Carlton  that  some 40 years later I would be walking the same lanes and streets, this time with camera at hand.

The years after graduating from RMIT photography (1996) were filled with European and South American travel. Through luck or fate I ended up opening a stall in 2001 at Queen Victoria Market.

The last twenty five years have been a great journey, a lot has been learnt, experienced and thankfully achieved. The opening of my String Bean Alley gallery gave me the potential for me to showcase a new and exciting range of works and ideas.

Post Covid I become a published author, Still Melbourne, my first book published by Mary Martin Bookshop, a book about my photographic images taken during the Melbourne lockdowns, foreword written by Lord Mayor Sally Capp.

Please enjoy viewing my viewing my work made throughout the years, and stay tuned for new works coming soon
