Artwork Description

This painting was inspired by summer holidays at the lovely coastal town of Minnie Water, where there is a lagoon sheltered from the currents where the fishing boats are launched. My daughter was paddling in the shallows and it made me want to pick up my brush and paint the happy summer mood! I think the shape in the water is where the fishermen scale their fish but I am not sure about that! This is an older painting but I thought it was special and that someone may love it on their wall!

I am an Australian artist based in Yamba, NSW.
Born in Grafton, I studied in Sydney and have lived in Newcastle and Maitland. In 1988 I moved to Brisbane where I lived for many years raising my family. In 2020 I moved to Yamba, NSW.
I have always loved art and painting, and I won several art awards in my school years.
Returning to art as an adult, I studied at TAFE, achieving a Certificate IV in Visual Art and Contemporary Craft, specialising in painting.
Always keen to improve my skills, I regularly attend workshops with my favourite artists and tutors.
“One of my happy places is to take part in a workshop with fellow artists and an inspiring teacher.”
I have developed my skills and vision to create my own style, focusing on seascapes but also including landscapes, figures, animals and flowers.
My favourite medium is oil paint. I paint with both brushes and palette knife to create both impressionist loose paintings and more realistic artworks, depending on my mood and how the painting develops.
My inspiration is the natural world, aiming to evoke feelings of peace and tranquillity. My particular love is to paint the ocean and coastal landscapes.
“There is something about the wide horizon, the changing light and the sense of space that the coast can inspire. I try to bring all these elements into my art.”
My art has sold widely across Australia, and also overseas and I have won several art prizes and highly commended awards.
“Painting is not just a hobby; it is an important part of my life and it makes my life richer and happier to put brush to canvas. I can’t imagine my life without art.”
