I am an Australian artist, creative person, author and personal development coach, living a semi rural life. I have lived loved and lost in equal measure and am inspired by light, sound, nature and always amazed at the beauty that surrounds us.
Inspired by impressionist and abstract artist I paint capturing emotion and energy of the life around me and based on places and spaces that have been part of my life. Each canvas holds its own story.
Semi formal training through school and college and masterclasses from many notable artists. I think it was Brett Whitley that said to Cressida Campbell, "If you want to learn to paint lock yourself in a boathouse for three months and paint." I have always drawn, doodled and painted as a creative being and began to reengage with art fully in 2017 seeking training with a local artist. I am now confident enough to offer up my art to others.
I enjoy energy that is created on a big canvas and have been relishing a combination of brush and palette knife layering colour and texture. Mostly painting in acrylics but loving oils as well.
As a creative I also make 'flass poppies' for fun and am the author of 'Heart Connection' and 'Its time Wake Up' books based on personal reflection, learning and development reminding people we are all connected by heart and providing tools for their journey.
