it is with the greatest of pleasure that I can share this article about my drawing and how I got started, what inspires me and what my favourite products and papers are!  
In the art world, few things will give you greater honour than to win a People's Choice Award, and to be asked to do a feature...to tell people, not only about your art, but about yourself. I have been afforded both with the Australian Coloured Pencils Network. Thank you so much Belinda Lindhardt and the ACPN, everyone feel free to have a read and a look, and if you are interested in coloured pencils, please remember to subscribe for the cost of a cup of coffee! What an honour!

First work for 2015.........'Reflective'          30 x 40cm, 25 hours, Prismacolor and Polychromos pencils, Canson Mi-teintes paper (blush).  This has been selected for exhibition at the Cambridge Studio Portrait Prize 2015, Feb 11th to 28th!!  http://www.cambridgestudiogallery.com.au/

“Every now and then the lense will capture a soul.  This is Hudson Charles, my little one.  For me, this is more than a portrait- a likeness, an expression or face.  It is an intense glimpse into an exclusive moment of character and mood, where Hudson was undisturbed by myself, the camera and the environment.  He was in his own place, pondering something important to him and his world as a three year old.  Hudsons depth of expression also ‘drew me in’ when I was completing this work as I contemplated what was behind his eyes......and perhaps, my life experience has been caught in this too.   It is a work for him to carry forward in his life, a permanent record of intensity and thought, a reminder of who he was when we all saw what he might be, a portrait of promise.”
