I began my career as an artist in Sydney, Australia in 1990. I started donating my artwork to hospitals in hope of brightening up the sterile environments, where I spent so much time as a child alongside my brother who battled with leukaemia.
As a result, I received a surprising amount of media attention about the positive impacts my art was making on patients and their families.
This inevitably resulted in contract art work for local businesses, which set me on my journey as an artist.
