It’s a busy month with coin releases. In addition to the griffin coin, the next coin in the Australian Bush Babies II coin series has been released. The series started off with the kookaburra, followed by the possum and now the third coin has been released, which features an echidna surrounded by native Australian flora.Read More
Wow! What a wonderful result. The auction for the Mali in the City event was held last Thursday with an amazing display of painted elephants and generosity from bidders. The whole event raised over $450,000 which will go towards the conservation efforts of the Melbourne Zoo. My elephants sold for $5,500 and $9,000 so I’m pretty happy with a total $14,500 being raised for the zoo by the two elephants I painted. I have been contacted by one of the buyers and the other is known by a friend so I’m also really happy to hear that they have both gone to good homes.Read More

On Wednesday night the Melbourne Zoo hosted a gathering of the 50 painted elephants, artists and sponsors for a “sneak peek” to celebrate the upcoming launch of the Mali in the City public art event. The day has finally come and the elephants are now in their city locations and open to the public for viewing!Read More
My second elephant ” Here today … ” for the Mali in the City event is finally finished! I’ve lost track of how long it took me but it took longer than “Elephantasy” because of the higher level of detail and more realistic approach. I’m so glad to be done, now I can sit back and wait for the other artists to finish and the elephants should be out in the city shortly after I get return to Victoria!Read More
The first coin in the second series of the Australian Bush Babies coins is out! After the popularity of the first series, I was commissioned by The Perth Mint to illustrate five more bush babies.
