I trained as a horticulturist. I remember words like Mitochondria, Osmosis, Golgi, organic compounds and drawing in entomology, microscopic images. All of these memories have become exotic over time but learnings from this epoch still seep into my artwork. I had ambitions of being a landscape gardener but my ideas of gardens being wild and free of concrete weren't popular at the time. Organic gardening was not mainstream and permaculture had only just been thought of. I disliked chemical sprays, ornamental hedges and torturing plants into shapes.

My favourite place is a natural environment like the bush or a vast landscape, both evoke a feeling of no body, no thought, just being a part of something beyond self.

My artwork is an accumulation of all my garden / life  philosophies. It is ever evolving and changes from one series to the next.
