The advances I have made during academic study, and practical challenges overcome, have provided a far higher understanding of what I do, who I am, and why I am compelled to work in the visual arts world. My research into the history and current state of art critiquing and journalism in Australia provided new insight from a different, but important perspective than that of someone producing artworks as I do as a painter. My case studies of historical and contemporary critics and art journalists proved that my previous understanding about where and when quality and unbiased arts writing and critiquing had been performed was misinformed, which has given me new insight into how this area of the arts in Australia has evolved over the past century.
