How long have you lived in Forbes? I was enticed by a farmer to move to Forbes in 1993, 22 years ago.
What do you love about Forbes? Apart from the community, I love the beautiful historic buildings in the town and the picturesque Victoria Park and Lake area.
What are your hobbies/passions? My love of horses is an inspiration for my artwork which is my passion. Graphic design is my profession, and more than a job to me. Another interest I have is decorating horses.
Who would you love to have dinner with? John Fairfax – I would love to discuss culture and art promoting rural towns and communities. Coming a close second and third are Ed Sheeran and Matthew McConaughey.
Describe your dream holiday: Get a group of like minded friends together and go horse riding in the Australian Highlands for a week.
What is the biggest change you would like to see in the world? To let every child born in the world have access to two poems: “The Desiderata” by Max Ehrmann and “Oh the Places You’ll Go” by Dr Suess.
