I finished my very first artwork (in oils) as an early teenager, and continued painting in oils for many years. Now I paint in acrylics, using all of today's fabulous acrylic mediums (including inks) as well as 24k gold and silver leaf, creating wondrous combinations of colour play and tactile textures to touch and enjoy. My usual substrate is stretched canvas, using Professional Artist grade acrylic paints and inks. All my finished canvasses are triple coated (as a minimum) in varnish, to protect my artworks for life, and to enable them to be wiped over with a wet cloth (to keep them at their vibrant best) without any damage to the painting beneath.
I am an eclectic artist, deriving ideas, style and subjects from all walks of life. I particularly love creating bold abstracts with colour, movement and soul as my inspiration. I love creating textural and tactile artwork, which is so often an enticement to be touched. On closer inspection, you will see the intricate details and colours I introduce, which make my artworks so unique, ensuring that each painting stands as a true individual!
I am also a qualified Feng Shui Practitioner, so I know what energy each of my artworks create. eg Fire, Earth, Metal, Water or Wood. Each of these elements creates its own energy. People often disregard what type of energy an artwork actually creates and permeates into the area it is placed - do you want to introduce activity, power, tranquility, creativity or maybe an area for communication - artwork can introduce all of these energies, and more, so I will always describe each artwork with its 'energetic force' in the painting's description. My aim is to bring joy and healing energy with every piece I create and it warms my heart when another soul wants to have my artwork in their life!
My beautiful Art Studio is situated in Castle Hill NSW and is my 'happy place', where I can be found most days of the week, creating something new to delight my heart and hopefully yours as well!
