This scene of the little cove at Yorkey's Knob was something I wanted to capture to hang on my wall. On 2 occassions, a year apart it appeared so beautiful with the patterns on the beach, the colours of the ocean and all framed with tropical trees as I walked out on the walkway . A never to forget impression on me - I love Cairns. I painted it quite large for a watercolour work on 300gm paper with artist's quality paints to try to capture all it's charm.

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
I have always loved art, from my childhood with a box of 72 Derwent coloured pencils. Painting is such an all-consuming passion when you really love it. I try to capture my impressions of beautiful, peaceful places with interesting colours & patterns and yet want to be able to paint any subject. I dream in Paintings, always thinking about what I will paint next.
There is an artistic thread running through my family and I was always keen to learn to paint. I attended a drawing class with Brian Simmonds before taking watercolour classes with Larry Mitchell. Larry encouraged the class to form a club and hold an exhibition back in 2001. This was encouraging with sales to feed my enthusiasm. I have since been self-taught whilst attending workshops with various artists whenever possible. Since then, I have sold many paintings to collectors for their homes both here and overseas.
I am inspired by the beauty of nature and feel very privileged to see the world through the eyes of an artist. There is a painting around every corner. Perth has always been my home, but with lots of travelling in Australia and Overseas I have a camera ready to capture every moment. “En plein air” painting is my favourite if the opportunity is there. Sitting in the sand hills on a beautiful coastline, with my paints is my idea of heaven.
Watercolor is the perfect medium for me- instant and transportable and all my works are painted from my own photos or onsite.
I hope I can impart my joy of painting to the viewer.
