I have worked in the Australian arts and cultural sector for almost 40 years. Most of my working life has been spent as an independent researcher and cultural worker with a portfolio practice that includes self-directed projects, as well as employment in a range of cultural, educational and media contexts.
My published writing ranges from poetry and prose fiction, to art criticism and feature articles, art exhibition catalogues, self-paced teaching materials and academic papers (for detail see my CV).
My current practice involves a mix of writing, research and curatorial projects, including a PhD in creative writing at Swinburne University.
