A master of all expressions of the graphic arts, co-founder of the Australian Graphic Design Association, adviser to governments, tertiary institutions and international corporations on the reach and applications of multi-media developments, Wayne has designed across all platforms, from the conventional – books and postage stamps, to the most interactive and sophisticated websites. His creative imagination also drives his new passion, an art practice in printmaking, glass art and sculpture.
Winning dozens of design awards during his working life in developing quality print, communication, new media and other design projects, his work has been published in many international publications. Wayne’s experience using computers which began in 1983 for new media projects and design is extensive. Wayne was a pioneer in the introduction of computers to the Australian design industry.
“I am totally inspired by the natural world - patterns of order, chaos and beauty are everywhere in nature.... rhythms and fractals created organically and woven by the elements - Earth, Fire, Water and Air.
Textures encompass the universe, their form, colour, and patterns are an awesome source of inspiration and creativity. The geometry of nature is powerful, visually exciting with many proportions occurring repeatedly – it is amazing!
As an artist I am excited by the transparency and opaqueness of glass as a medium to transcend and transform the hidden visual treasures of the natural world into works of art - Nature’s Art!
Metaphysically speaking, my inspiration from nature is largely a matter of perception and immersion.”
