Hi, thank you for visiting my profile! I am a Sydney based artist, I am self-taught. My father was an artist in his younger years so I was fortunate to inherit his artistic and creative passion for art. My mother was a dress maker. As a child I would spend endless hours drawing, painting, sewing clothes for my dolls from my mother’s off cut fabrics and listening to music. I knew from a young age that I wanted to pursue my passion when I finished high school. On deciding what to choose for my career, I had to choose between my two loves, being an artist or fashion designer, I chose fashion. I had a good successful career having the opportunity to design, create, illustrate and colour coordinate my creations.
One day I bought paint and a blank canvas I started to apply paint on the canvas, this was when I was at my happiest, I knew this is what I wanted to do again and I never looked back.
Acrylic paint is my preferred medium although sometimes I like to impact some texture, mixed media exploring my physicality into my artwork, constantly learning and growing as an artist.
My inspiration comes from nature, a love and deep connection that began in childhood.
The depth, smell, texture and richness of colours of Australian landscape from the red desert to the coastal blue ocean, a memory or a feeling that I strive to see in my artwork, flowing directly to the canvas, building layers, textures, and colour blending and evolving.
Sometimes I don’t have a plan when painting. I start with a blank canvas with colours of my first choice, then I start to paint what I feel and something magical happens with a self of freedom to experiment to all possibilities expressing movement and emotions with interesting outcomes. No two paintings are the same, they are one of a kind and original.
I hope doing what I love can bring joy and happiness into your world as they did mine whilst they were being created.
