As a child I was lost in my imagination, preoccupied with the lives of ants, snails, spiders & mice. This fascination with small worlds continued through my life, blocking out the larger world around me. During my youth I was shy and huddled over my sketch pad in crowded rooms, interacting with people who showed interest in my drawings. Drawing was my social tool that helped patch the awkward silences. This sense of being alone was a motivation towards networking with like-minded artists in later years (after developing some necessary social skills) and founding the 'Underground Australian Art Collective' in 2002, which became the 'International Surreal Art Collective' in 2006.
