His work is always innovative and with an enthusiasm and passion for art he concurrently develops several themes both painterly and conceptual. Jeremy’s paintings are characterised by movement, colour and wit.

In March 1995 he established the first Internet art gallery in Australia, at http://www.peachtreegallery.com. The gallery is included in the National Archives with copies of it taken annually. It contains images of over 700 of Jeremy’s paintings, with free downloadable posters of many and exhibition catalogues.
