He has a substantial record of prizes, grants, scholarships and commissions. His work is driven by his interaction with the Tasmanian landscape, particularly those places with which he feels an affinity - Bruny Island, the Bay of Fires, the south-west coast and the Huon Valley where he has lived, at Judbury, since 1991.
