I have been painting since my HSC in 1989. Ten years later, I sold my HSC artwork in a garage sale for $50. I started painting again in 2013 as an outlet for depression and anxiety from my teaching career. I am a Science teacher and have always loved painting.
I have self-developed my skills, trying new techniques and ideas as I develop my portfolio. I have commissioned all of the artwork for my Massage therapist's rooms and have a new commission in progress for the new massage therapist. Most of my work is Abstract - acrylic on canvas, but I have also experimented with acrylic pours and multimedia using foil as a base.
My inspiration is colour. I love seeing that one "poppy" stand out from the crowd of sunflowers. I love using eye-catching reds, but my favourite colours with which to paint and blend are Phthalo Blue and Turquoise, and deep post-sunset blues.
I have sold over 10 works in the Newcastle area and would love to expand my business to other art lovers who enjoy my art as much as I enjoy making it. If you are interested in commissioning similar works to the ones displayed on my profile, I would be happy to do so.
