Working

and to produce truly great art, one must be open-minded in approach and method
of portrayal.
His
art has been widely featured through Television and radio including an ABC
Wildscreen documentary. He has also featured in books including 'Fifty
Australian Artists', 'Who's who of Australian Visual Artists', in many
magazines and on Australian Postage Stamps. His was the first wildlife art ever
