ENGAGED
Grafton Primary School, New South Wales.
Although I dive into geological landscapes and research my topics in detail I also thrive on facilitating workshops, discussions and field trips.


A GeoArt workshop for Colour Australia in Brisbane.
New GeoStories arise at the most unexpected moments, even sometimes for me. One story leads to another and often those around me contribute new thinking and insights that continually adds another dimension.
A Geological Story Telling Booth for Science Week.
Whether we are discussing “Geology and Wine”, “Volcanoes and Earthquakes”, “Erosion, Water and Soil” or “Extinction and Evolution” it always seems new with fresh ideas coming from the participating group.


A GeoArt exhibition whilst working as an Artist in Residence.
Whilst designing and completing my artwork I use colour and structure to portray the “personalities” and relationships between the rocks in the story I am telling. Rocks contain all the drama one can imagine and their histories can be both “mind blowing” and beautiful. In the middle of painting it is not uncommon to be confronted with questions that I have never heard before. Geological art has taken me down pathways that were unknown to me. Furthermore, it is fantastic to share these discoveries with others in exhibitions and presentations.

Outdoor introduction to geological stories and then painting them is a wonderful start (for children or adults) to begin any investigation into our Earth.
