Brett, who has been painting in oils on and off for about twelve years is a traditional artist who has no formal art education. He is basically self-taught and with help from a couple of local artists has gained public recognition and success at many exhibitions around N.S.W.  Brett has held two successful solo exhibitions and has been awarded highly commended awards in several well respected art shows. His paintings have been purchased by both private and corporate collectors here and overseas. After recently retiring he is hoping to pursue his hobby more passionately.
