Tidal reflections - Manyung Gallery, Sorrento

I am proud to have been invited to exhibit with the prestigious Manyung Gallery Group at their lovely Sorrento Gallery on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula in 2026.

Showing this summer as part of their “Tidal reflections” series, my work hangs in excellent company. I am pleased to be working with such a great team.

See some photos from the Tidal reflections show.

What a show!

I was pleased to meet so many collectors and visitors at the Sydney Affordable Art Fair in early November 2025 at Carriageworks in Redfern. It was one of the best fairs I have shown at and the amount of interest and love for my work was humbling and amazing. Thank you to Northern Beaches Gallery and to all who came along :-)

Take a look at some pictures from the Fair
