Currently running at Woolmers Estate Longford.

A collection of 49 paintings and 15 sculptures.
Works range in size and price. Featuring oils and endemic timbers.
Rain forests, fungi and seascapes. Lily ponds and underwater themes; a large Humpback whale diptych dominates the gallery space. Sculptures include Quolls, possums and sea lions.
An Exhibition About The Realms on Our Planet
This is a celebration of life.
There are many realms on our planet.
Come and enjoy a spell wandering in the cool glades of ‘Emerald Sanctuary’ a large oil on canvas 152cm x 115cm.
Or gaze into the distance of the ‘Shimmer on the Gordon’ river, another large oil on canvas 182cm x123cm.
Pause and admire the detail of ‘Tree of Life’ a timber sculpture with Huon pine, Leatherwood, King William pine and many other timbers.
There are nine elements.
A long time dream to have an exhibition with my dad has become a reality.
I’m certain too will find yourself having an emotional response to these works.
