EDUCATION-

His early education was very versatile and included both the performing and visual arts.  Despite his obvious talent for painting, in 1967 he enrolled into university to study languages and literature in order to pursue a teaching career..

He continued his formal education at DEAKIN UNIVESITY, Melbourne, graduated in 1974, gaining a DIPLOMA of ART, majoring in INDUSTRIAL DESIGN.  During this course he began to paint again achieving instant success at art competitions, winning his first major art award in 1975.(Corio Council Art Award, Judged by Richard Heffernan,Head of Deakin Art Faculty)
