Don’t be afraid to give it a go…

I know you can be better than you are

My name is Eddie

I have a very unique story. Some might say I am a real "Aussie battler". 
I know what it is like to face major challenges — and to overcome them.

I reckon I might be able to help YOU gain the confidence to “give it a go” in life.
Hey — if I can do it, anyone can!

What do I do?

I've been a photographer, an artist, an inventor, a comedian, and a public speaker. 
Now I spend most of my days giving motivational talks to government agencies, business groups, 
universities, schools, disability support groups, clubs, social gatherings… 
or painting in my home studio, and experimenting in my electrical workshop.

ARTWORK & BESPOKE PAINTINGS

I have been painting for as long as I can remember, for friends and colleagues — portraits, still life, landscapes, whatever. My current works are all for sale, and, yes, I do accept commissions.
