For as long as I can remember I have been interested in wood, but was encouraged to epxlore its potential while at secondary school.
It was during this time that I found myself attracted to the lathe - to explore many forms in a relatively short time and to transform small interesting pieces of wood into objects that highlighted the timber's natural beauty.

Qualifications
BEd (Art & Craft),
Melbourne College of Advanced Education

While studying to be a teacher I was exposed to new ideas, materials and techniques and gathered information from specialists in their fields. I had the time and the facilities to develop new ideas and skills. Woodturning captured my imagination and eventually became my specialty.

Occupation
Teaching secondary students and adults woodwork & woodturning

Once I moved into full-time secondary school teaching, I continued to develop my own work and style. I also began to exhibit, entering competitions and selling to shops, galleries and collectors. I also teach woodturning to adult classes and demonstrate to clubs and the general public. Contact me for further details.

Woodturning is now my passion. I continue to push myself to improve the quality of my work and to develop new and innovative designs.
