While I had always had a fascination for the art of Italy, my interest in the sight seeing prospects of this glorious country developed from a marble sculpting group I participated in 1997 and 1999 in Carrara.
I then followed this up with a research trip before leading my first group in 2001. By the end of 2009 I had successfully conducted 19 groups.
Prior to designing and creating the Tuscan trips, I had established myself as a sculptor in Brisbane
in a variety of materials including bronze, marble, clay and sand stone, with commissioned pieces in restaurants,
RSL clubs and private collections. I also provided private tuition, workshops in Brisbane as well as
various groups around Queensland.
My intention originally was to accompany artists and sculptors around Italy, combining painting,
sculpture and sight seeing. It soon became apparent that this very specialized trip was not financially
viable. To this end I have subsequently developed a little of an art theme to the trips, by way of
offering clay sculpting lessons, free of charge during our sojourn in Italy. The materials are naturally
also provided free of charge.
This is directed at people interested, but not necessarily accomplished, so there is no reason
not to have a little fun experimenting. I also provide demonstrations for those who have an
interest in sculpting, but no inclination to be directly involved.
