Specialising in images of the iconic Australian shearing shed, she describes a time and place that is often on the edge of urban memory. Her paintings are about Australia, now; her etchings tell a more personal story. 2020 Australian Representative Artist at the international convention "Fabriano In Acquarello" , Italy.
Full time, fully self-supporting, professional artist, since 1990.
