The diverse ecology of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, is my inspiration to create mainly mixed medium expressionistic work using mark-making as a means of conveying the sensitivity of the work. My career has been in Marketing and Advertising working Internationally. After emigrating to Australia 16 years ago whilst working as a Business Consultant I studied Visual Art part-time. After several years of formal studies my career evolved into a full time occupation - furthering studies in ceramics, print-making and life drawing. Presently teaching art and art history classes part-time in Noosa.

It doesn't matter if you consider our hobby fool hardy or fun, for those of you who have a fear of snakes we're your best friends. Hi I am William Pledger, I have been handling reptiles now for over 15 years. My aim is to help preserve the reptile species through education and understanding. Most reptiles are just passing through your property on their way to food or water, and some may use an area to hide but in most cases they will not live near your house permanently. If you have a reptile around your home or car, please do not try to remove it yourself, call a professional. Please remember to always ensure the person you call is licensed to remove reptiles from your area and don't be afraid to ask to view their permit.
