Visualisation is essential in a design process that necessitates constant critical analysis and reflection. Conceptual drawings are never intended to be realistic — rather an exploration of ideas — the essence of creativity. Between imaginative concept sketches and photorealist representations, there is an abundant range of styles and approaches. I believe that an architectural illustrator, as well as being able to orchestrate the most flattering scenario for a design by carefully choosing perspective viewpoints, angle of light, colour palette, landscape and entourage, should be able to execute an illustration in a variety of styles and media to best suit a client’s objectives.

I have worked in the Architecture/ Construction industry as an architectural illustrator for 25 years. During that time I have managed an office that provided
		a range of architectural illustration services, employing architects, technicians, industrial designers and graphic designers. In 1998, I made a decision to downsize the office in order to concentrate on the areas that I like to do best — to paint and draw in a wide range of media!

Together with Carolyn Davy-Ellevsen, 3D computer enthusiast and co-director of Jane Grealy & Associates, we are developing new techniques
that combine computer-generated images and hand drawn skills. Experimentation, along with technical accuracy and an enthusiasm for art and architecture, are essential components of our working methodology.

I am continually inspired by architecture and art practitioners and by my own professional colleagues. I have taught on a part-time basis at the Queensland University of Technology, TAFE (Technical and Further Education) and at the University of Northern Territory and enjoy sharing my skills and enthusiasm with students.
