I was born in Guernsey in the Channel Islands and brought up in Malta. My wish to become an internationally acclaimed artist developed after I followed a Bachelor in Fine Arts at the National Art School in Sydney. I was chosen to represent Malta as part of the CHOGM in 2002. Subsequently, I have exhibited at the United Nations in New York, at the Commonwealth Society and Harrods in Central London, at the Montmatre Town Hall in Paris, at St. Tropez, at Seville Spain and at an Art Symposium in Italy. I managed my own gallery at the Hilton, I completed trophies for the Rolex Middlesea Race in 2005 and 2006 and have also work on the film ‘Troy’. My works can be found worldwide, in numerous private collections.
