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 have had the pleasure of meeting and working for many of Australia's knife makers. Among whom are names like Peter Del Raso, Adam and Terri Parker, Keith Fludder, and Christian Mathieson who I have also had the pleasure of spending time with and sharing skills and knowledge, I have started making knives as a hobby and intend to continue working on my skills in my spare time.
My other hobbies include leatherwork, knife making, woodwork 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.
