Mundaring, Perth

classes: Sculpture and Assemblage

Originally from Adelaide, Neil moved to Perth with his family in 1978, at the age 14. After leaving high school in 1980 he studied graphic design at Perth Technical College where he developed his drawing and painting skills. In 1990 he established a business as a cartoonist/illustrator in Subiaco. Although highly successful he constantly explored and expanded his boundaries, training in numerous fine art mediums, including but not exclusive to, printmaking, photography, painting, life drawing and mixed media.

With his ability to merge the technical world of design with the emotive and often sensitive world of visual art, then mix in his prime objective to explore and have fun, Neil has created a distinctive and quirky, thought-provoking style. "By constantly experimenting and introducing new mediums, I am able to maintain passion and excitement towards my work."

In 2010 Neil started to explore the world of sculpture as it seemed to be a natural progression from his highly textured paintings. He has enjoyed success in this field and continues to adopt new mediums as both a painter and sculptor.
