I am currently an Artist in Residence at Studio 11 in Fremantle West Australia & I'm a Certified Art Life Coach - Art Therapy.
I paint everything from memory & imagination based on my years on this planet living in beautiful surroundings. I was born an artist but haven't been able to be all-consumed by it until the last 10 years. Now I'm able to paint almost everyday - heaven!
I have just moved from living amongst the trees in the Perth Hills on a half acre block with quendas, possums,bees & a multitude of native plants, trees & birds to the beautiful coast of Safety Bay with its tranquil turquoise waters & throngs of kite-surfers. The sea and its many colours and moods are now inspiring me however I will always be a gentle but active admirer of all that our natural world has to offer.
