I am an Australian digital designer/programmer/animator and scientist.

I am multi-skilled across a number of disciplines and cultures: an experienced (and award-winning) digital artist, animator, computer programmer, researcher, lecturer, teacher and biological scientist.

I teach Media Design (interactive, graphic and information design) at the School of Creative Arts, James Cook University in Townsville. Formerly I lectured in the Creative Arts program at Melbourne University, before a university-wide restructure resulted in the closure of the School. This created an opportunity for growth where I re-focused on design, communication, biological sciences, working with children and creative activities.

I have been working with computers since 1979 and was amongst international pioneers in 3D computer animation, digital art and later, creative interactive multimedia. I was awarded a New Media Arts Fellowship from the Australia Council in 1999.

In 2008, I was selected for participation in eMobilArt, the European Mobile Lab for Interactive Media Artists, a year long project tailored around the process of collaboratively creating and exhibiting interactive installation artworks. This involved participants working across disciplines (science, design, art, technology), cultures and locations (Europe, USA, Canada, South America, Australia).

My most recent artwork was Ephemeron, an interactive audiovisual sculpture, collaboratively-developed with artists in four countries as part of eMobilArt.

Previous artworks investigate writing, Integrationist theory and human-computer interaction. Others include the internationally award-winning CD-ROM Postcard From Tunis, the interactive installation artwork Gold Leaf and a pioneering 3D computer animated film, Dream House.
