I went to Bali for two months and met my wife, and that’s how the story started… We had a very simple beginning, selling art on the street.

It’s hard no matter where you are in the world, it’s always a bit of a battle, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

It was a good process, though the demographics seemed a little skewed.

I’ve done my time in being broke in Indonesia. Eating Goat soup. Australia’s a developed country, you’ve got a lot of taxes, rents are high and its quite difficult to survive as an artist especially...

All artists are people of growth. It’s like food, you take the good and leave the rest.

Whereas there’s a wealth of galleries in Australia, everyone’s got a gallery in Australia or wants your work. Because the art scene is smaller in Indonesia, there’s not so much competition.
