BIOGRAPHY Born in 1975 in country Queensland, I completed secondary school study in Bundaberg before graduating in 1996 from James Cook University with a Bachelor of Visual Arts. After beginning BVA (Honours) in 1997, I decided to defer this study in Visual Arts and complete postgraduate study in Education. I have been a primary school teacher since 1999 and now I am a specialist teacher working in Ipswich, Queensland. After focussing on my career in Education over the past decade, I now have the capacity to pursue my artistic endeavours with great passion. |
