The highlight of my career has been taking my paintings to Florence, Italy and being awarded the Lorenzo il Magnifico Award for Paintings in 2007. After 30 years of painting, it was a fantastic experience to be in the great city that was home to Leonardo and Michaelangelo and be given a Medici Medal. My love of the landscape, especially the Australian deserts, underpins my paintings and photography. I do hope you enjoy my books.
