ABOUT THE ARTIST

     I am an Australian hand engraver.  I started this journey into chisel hand engraving in December 2011 by taking lessons from another NSW engraver Jeff Freeman.  After about a year of steady practice I met up with some members of the knife making community and since then I have been working mostly knives.

​

     I had the pleasure of meeting and working for many of Australia's knife makers, including Peter Del Raso, Adam and Terri Parker, Keith Fludder, and Christian Mathieson whom I have also had the pleasure of sharing skills and knowledge with.  I have started making knives as a hobby and intend to continue working on my skills in my spare time.  

     Other hobbies include stonesetting, leatherwork, knife making, woodcarving and calligraphy.  I have been very blessed in my life to have been given many skills which I have been able to combine and use in ways I would not have expected at the time.  I enjoy learning and continually striving to improve my skills.
