My lifelong engagement in the arts, music, opera, design and photography began in the late 1960s with formal training in graphic design, signcrafts and typography.

Across the 1970s and 80s I photographed remote expeditions to the Arctic, Himalaya, Kimberley, and other wilderness regions, and produced an internationally released TV documentary film of Australia's first Arctic expedition (which I personally led) screened by Discovery, CBC, BBC, ABC and across Europe,

Through the 1990s, I founded and grew a highly successful design-based landscape, engineering and marketing startup in the UK with $26 million in sales.

As a practising artist in the early 2000's, my major exhibition in Sydney, launched by the Danish Consul General, explored in abstract form the 11 short compositions of Mussorgsky's disturbing work, universally known as Night on a Bald Mountain, which drew from the book "Dark Night of the Soul' by Saint John of the Cross.

During Covid, which changed everyone's lives, the extreme sunsets of South Australia's Golphe Josephine drew me back into professional photography full time. So I'm back to the beginning where I know nothing and have everything to learn.
