Hello fellow lovers of all things art ~ welcome to my profile. I am a self proclaimed, self instructed artist situated in Townsville, the tropical capital of North Queensland. Throughout my childhood, if I wasn't outside exploring and creating adventure, I was inside discovering ways to be imaginative and creative with art and craft.
Somewhere along my journey, through education, career, and starting a family, my love for creativity took a backseat. Early on in 2021, whilst pregnant with my third daughter, and with my husband deployed overseas, I was inspired (at the request of my eldest daughter) to paint a black cockatoo. That one glorious bird awakened my artistic desires and since then I have painted almost daily. Everything from birds and tropical plants, to abstracts and line art and many other things. I am still exploring different mediums, and trying my hand at mixing mediums, but right now my favourite is acrylic paint on stretched canvas. Painting allows me an outlet to creatively express thought and emotion with colour and zeal. I am thoroughly enjoying this new adventure and am eager to continue my intrinsic quest to find my own 'style'.
