The Gange was wrecked at Point Lonsdale in 1887.

Waves stand up over a reef in their last stages of their travel.

I love these waves. They have been part of my journey since 2006 and I still enjoy making them. Every one in the series is unique and inspired by what's very close to my back yard!

This series captures the power of the sea. these waves have been spawned in far off waters and end in a final crash on our shores.

Tied up in port waiting the cargo for the trip home.

Thedangers of the journey to Australia in the nineteenth century.

History of the Point Lonsdale Lighthouse

Escaping predators. How the chaser must wonder what has happened!

There is a wonderful Attenborough video of the mating dance of the weedy sea dragon in the waters not far from me - this piece is inspired by him.

They are so beautiful to observe underwater.

Wall hanging

Front door of a historic house. The sea dragon is painted using traditional glass paints and silver stain. The corner pieces and rondels were salvaged from an old window.

A privacy screen. Seven panels (800mm x 2400mm) in a polished stailess steel frame.
