Arno "Ploughed Field Monaro #2" Ethan-james Kotiau Flinders University Art Museum AdelaideMy life began in 1949. I grew up surrounded by art and music in a normal 50s family. In those years I made my paintings, drawings and had the requisite garage band, then leaving school as soon as I could, I answered an ad for Art Studio Junior. Naively expecting to be taught painting, I found myself being trained as a finished artist for the advertising industry. By selecting that straw, I began illustrating my way into the world of Graphic Design.
