Research Degree Supervisor

About me

I am a Senior Lecturer in the SA School or Art, where I have been teaching full-time since 1989. I'm currently Program Director: Honours and have been supervising Honours students, whose research projects have been quite diverse, for some time. My particular area of studio expertise is in printmaking and I am a practising artist in this field, regularly exhibiting locally and nationally. I have had work included in numerous prestigious national and international exhibitions and my work is held in private and public collections. img src="http://www.unisanet.unisa.edu.au/art/sasax.gif
