About Me
I am a passionate, self-taught bird and landscape photographer with achievements in photography competitions. Driven by a love for nature, animals, and birds, I capture the beauty and quirky personalities of wildlife in their natural habitats. My photography primarily features scenes from the Gippsland area and the High Country around Mt. Hotham and Bright.
To bring my work to the local community, I participate in weekend markets throughout Gippsland, as well as special events like art and photography shows. Photography is my way to connect with nature and share its magic with others.

Cards & Calendars
Furthermore I sell greeting cards and each year a Gippsland Landscape Calendar.
I have been very fortunate with a large following in the Gippsland area. One day there are plans for a more permanent exhibition space.
Markets
Not having a gallery means I am travelling around Gippsland to take my photography to local art & craft markets. I love markets, talking to like minded people and showing my photography on a finished product whether it is on canvas, matted, or framed.
One of my best selling products are my 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles, featuring local scenes.
