A brief rundown on

the Lilly’s of my life...

A t the age of eighteen, in 1984, I was offered a Commercial Artist Traineeship with

Australian Provincial Newspaper Company, after doing my senior module of Work Experience

in their advertising department. From there I was qualified as a Pre-press Level 8 Compositor

and an Commercial Illustrator. Those days of drawing diamonds with a .025 Rotring pen, to look real for the

local jeweller I sometimes miss...

I was trained under the Compositors Apprenticeship Act, supported by the Printer’s and Kindreds Union

(R.I.P.); under the ever watchful eagle eye and mentorship of Mrs Cecily Schuman, a very skilled

visual and commercial artist at the time. I cannot imagine my life’s professional path without her training

and expertise. In those days everything was done by hand. I was nicknamed the ‘surgeon’ as my skills with

the scalpel developed, so did my retrographic camera skills, all letters surgically removed from their outlines

for four colour reproduction... fun and very hard yakka!

ince then, my natural journey in all things and drawn graphics and logos, annual

media, have taken me far and wide, both in reports, pharmacy magazines, all mining public

experience and ever learning... relations strategies and industry promotion.

I have worked in all facets of both high quality Editing, managing advertising, and one on one

Credit Union” to “the Capricornian” was a long and very
