My life has always been creative from drawing to jewellery making or felting. I also am a teacher in the creative sector and have dabbled in a few art classes over the years . I always imagined my retirement would include painting and any other crafty stuff I could indulge in. Along came Covid! When a restless creative is stuck indoors you need something. So this is when I took my chance, why wait! I grabbed my husbands easel and paints, joined many online art classes and off I ran only to be found in my new created arty environment at every opportunity. My whole outlook changed and I envisioned everything I saw in nature on a canvas. This is why I love to paint flowers, Australian native plants or any that are vibrant in colour. I love to experiment with my background layering and incorporating bright old colours.
