George has been painting most of his adult life. Initially his interest lay in the European impressionistic style of oil painting and pastels. More recently  he has developed his flair for  botanical and ornithological subject matter where he has started to expand his  skills in watercolour and coloured pencil mediums. Even though he has been mostly a self taught artist, as many now famous artists before him, he attended, over the years, several art workshops in various art schools of Sydney's North Shore. Furthermore, his watercolour skills were enhanced by attending art workshops with one of Australia's leading botanical artist, Helen Fitzgerald. Living in Jindabyne, in the Snowy Mountains region,  now offers endless opportunities for his botanical and ornithological art works.
