My extensive travel through Europe and Asia was where my appreciation of handmade crafts was ignited.

Once back home, I open Katoomba Centrecraft, a craft supply and Gallery business.

I tried my hand at several different crafts, before attending a Community College course in lead lighting, the rest is history. For the past 50 years I have worked with many artists and designers, and completed numerous commissions.

As we move into the 21st Century I fear that many of the skills associated with traditional crafts will be lost, as technology overwhelms us and it becomes more difficult to earn an income through the Arts.

Computers can't make lead lights - YET!
