After moving to Bethlehem in 1987, working as an agricultural researcher, he set up his own ceramic studio. The rest, in his words, "was travelling down a path of discovery."
He moved from multi-dimensional pots of two dimensional ceramic plaques and then to water colours, then to etchings and pastels and now to oils.
It was on a trip overseas that he made a fundamental observation that was to change his life and launch him on his major career as a landscapist. What really differentiated their landscapes from ours was the intensity of the radiantly blue skies of Africa. His landscapes are quiet, capturing the vastness of the African sky.
