Article in American Art Collector March 2012 edition "Planes, Trains & Automobiles"

Well 2012 is going to be a big year for me...
3 Solo exhibitions...group shows, commissions & a portrait of my great uncle!

My first exhibition of the year is an invitational group show called "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" which opens on March 3 2012 at Elliott Fouts Gallery Sacramento, CA I have a small work in this show, the image has been a lot of fun producing, using the neighbours beautiful Pontiac Firebird and his wife's legs!

My solo exhibitions begin at Beaver Galleries, Canberra opening Aug 16th, the next will be a Solo exhibition at The Focus Gallery in Canada opening Sept 13th & the third solo will be at Catherine Asquith Gallery, Melbourne opening October 16th. In conjunction with these shows, I am going to produce a large catalogue with an accompanying essay by Professor Ted Snell.
