 |  | Biography |  | I have been living in Melbourne, Victoria for six years now. Brisbane Qld. was my chosen home town for 17 odd years while I raised my family.I would like to return to the US for a trip to meet my extended family. |  |  |  | Statement |  | Self taught for the most part, I have always enjoyed doing some king of artwork. I developed a paint system for decorating ornate plaster which I call ArchiSpray. Out of necessity I used this method on my paintings and came to quite like it. I have now met many artists who have developed some kind of decorating business to make ends meet. I have also met many industry (house) painters who are very good if not great artists! I would like to move on to selling my paintings as Prints. |  |  |  | Exhibitions |  | The exhibitions I entered were so long ago I believe they don't really matter. In the 1980's, Barnie Muir from Manly, Sydney framed my water colours and entered the work  all over town. A lot of people liked them. Later, I showed my work in Port Douglas, Cairns, Townsville and Kuranda. I have been showing my work from the Studio and Showroom for the last six years now. |  |  |  |
