I have been creating art since a very early age. I was always encouraged to create by my mum who was a painter and a potter. I spent 20 years as a studio potter.
I have been painting seriously since giving up pottery twenty years ago.
I love pastels and at the moment I am concentrating on acrylic artworks on stretched canvases. I like the brightness and quick drying of acrylic paints.
I get most of my inspiration for my paintings from what is around me.
I am very lucky to live in the very beautiful area of East Gippsland in Victoria.
I am inspired by our diverse range of Flora ad Fauna.
I love the scenery we have in this part of the world.
I love to get out in the bush on my morning walk with my two dogs.
We have everything around us here from lakes, rivers , mountains I never run out of inspiration for my next painting, I just have to look out the door.
