Exhibitions

This photograph of me was taken by Naysa Andrade, the director of Arteriet in Norway

I regret that my capacity to create artworks has been limited by family and health issues. However, I am still able to contribute towards some exhibitions. If you would like to see some examples in person, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Current

Rearranged: Art of the Flower in at the Museum of Brisbane features some of my florals.

Brisbane’s Woolloongabba Art Gallery is also exhibiting one of my paper effigies.

An example of my gold gilded papercuts is included in Gold at Boutwell Schabrowsky in Munich.

Art Atrium in Sydney is presently showing one of my multicoloured papercuts of food.

Abridged history

I am indebted to innumerable organisations for their support over the past two and a half decades. Since the Queensland Art Gallery identified me through their Starter Space program in 2004, I have exhibited extensively across Australia, Asia, North America and Europe.

I am in the process of compiling a chart of exhibition venues and festivals which have presented my artwork. Although some exhibitions have been marked, I believe that all of the hosts have made considerable contributions to my development.

If you require a curricula vita, I can compile one to your specifications.
