“Three years ago I arrived in Launceston as a practising artist and art collector I thought Launceston needed to have a significant commercial art gallery in the city. A year later I opened gallery Pelham. My aim has to been to provide a variety of exhibiting opportunities for emerging and established artists so that their contribution to art would reach a greater audience to increase public awareness of the exciting local art scene and provide the local and global audience with a variety of exemplary artist practices across a broad spectrum of mediums.  I’m privileged to have had the support of both The local community and the art community here in  Launceston”
