About Me |
|
| As an illustrator and writer I am interested in integrating words and pictures and making imaginary worlds with both. I have a B.A. in Visual Arts from the UNSW, Sydney and have worked for over 20 years variously as an artist, freelance illustrator, cartoonist and art tutor.I have lived on bread and cheese in every country in western Europe, fallen in flooded streams in New Zealand, been ski touring in Australia and Norway and have only been lost in a blizzard once. Highlights of my career range from being a professional fairy to website marketing consultation.I love making music, including singing and playing recorder, French horn, tenor horn and guitar.I have recorded segments for ABC Radio National's Bush Telegraph, entertained locally with music and blarney and conducted workshops for school children in writing and illustration.»-(¯..v..¯)-» Design your MySpace with MyLook «-(¯..v..¯)-« | |
