I live in North Queensland with my husband and 2 primary school kids. I have been painting part-time for approximately 2.5 years as a way to relax and have some self-care. I’ve always been creative but I don’t have formal art training. I learn my art skills from books, watching others and online videos. Mostly my daily practice is what progresses my skills. I mostly use watercolour and acrylic paint for my artwork but I’m also partial to gouache and ink!
I try to bring feeling into my artwork and capture the ordinary items and moments. I do this by finding elements that can come to life - it could be a flower, a reflection on water, or a figure doing something ordinary. Light and shadow are my favourite things to paint as they give the feeling of ‘stepping into’ the painting. It's like you are there in the scene.
I enjoy experimenting and problem solving in my art. That is what keeps me coming back for another piece of art, over and over again! There is always something to learn from each piece.
I enjoy painting beachscapes, figurative paintings and abstracts the most. Inspiration comes from everywhere and sometimes it’s all made up in my head!
