BLUETHUMB BIO
Hi, thank you so much for looking at my art and wanting to know more!
Sunlight, colour, spectacular scenery and the beach all get my creative juices flowing.
A childhood in Fiji surrounded by flowers, fragrance, sun and big skies inspired me to work creatively with art in one way or another, and led me to study for my Bachelor of Visual Art and Fashion Design in Sydney.
Living back in the spectacular North of Tasmania, another island of big skies and dramatic scenery, inspired me to return professionally to my first love: acrylic painting.
I adore explosive colour and expressive brushwork, learning more about artists and their art, the challenge of life drawing, still lifes and especially painting en plein air, outside in the gorgeous landscapes that inspire me, bathed in light, birdsong and feeling the wind.
Exhibiting solidly in Tasmania, I was recently honoured to be shown in the Burnie Regional Gallery.
It was a humbling experience selling and has inspired me to share my art with you on Bluethumb :)
I hope you enjoy the immersion in colour and light and the joy of the natural world.
