ARTIST BIO

When I was in my early school years my teachers often encouraged me not to give up art as they claimed I had a talent I should keep developing, but life happens and even though I did do some art as a teen I was a full time shearer from the age of seventeen and was either to busy or too tired to bother with art even as a hobby.

Moving forward after 46 years as a shearer and the last of my five kids are grown and a worn out back, decided now was the time to do less physical work and pick up my pallet and paints again and put on canvas some of the images I have stored away in my memory of characters, rustic old shearing sheds and places I've toiled in over most of my life.

Finaly finished shearing this August 2020 at 65 after 48 years shearing and 50 years of heavy back breaking work I'm hoping finally to get some oils on the linen canvas I prepared a year ago.
