‘Omens’ has been acquired by the Cynthia Sears / Bainbridge Island Art Museum (USA). It joins several of my other artists’ books in this prestigeous & extensive collection.

‘Industrial Idyll #2’ has been shortlisted for the 2025 Burnie Print Prize. The exhibition of finalists will be held at the Burnie Regional Art Gallery from Friday March 14 until Saturday May 17.

I was honoured to have ‘Omens’ chosen the winner in the experimentation with form category at the 2024 Firestation Artist Book Prize.

The State Library Victoria has acquired my ‘Industrial Idyll’ suite of 4 artists’ books. The books originated with my fascination with the industrial foreshore at Corio, Geelong & expanded to encompass industrial ports in general after a trip to Newcastle.

The exhibition features 7 of my artists’ books along with unique state prints that take images from the books & offer expanded interpretations. 

‘Whereabouts:Printmakers Respond’, curated by Rona Green, is showing at the Art Gallery of Ballarat over summer 2023 / 2024. The exhibition features Victorian printmakers responding to where they live & work. I’m represented by my linocut ‘Airshow Over Corio Foreshore’.

My monotype ‘Corio Idyll #5’ is a finalist in the 2023 Firestation Print Studio Australian Monoprint Prize.  The exhibition of the finalists will run from September 20 until October 21.

It’s been a great year so far, being shortlisted for both the Fremantle & Geelong print prizes.  Both are self portraits & were started in 2016 & completed this year with hand coloured pencil. 

My hand coloured linocut ‘The Last Great Industrial Heartland’ has been shortlisted for the 2023 Burnie Print Prize. The exhibition of the selected prints will run from July 21 until September 8 at the Burnie Museum & Gallery, Burnie, Tasmania.
