Fire Ball

We were evacuated because of an advancing bush fire in 2008 and that experience is still vivid with me. This painting called Fire Ball reminds me of that day. The heat, the colours, the smoke and the falling ash are strong memories. The Australian bush is a wonderful part of our culture but experiencing a bush fire is a frightening and emotional experience.

I am a retired teacher who now has time to express myself through painting and music.
l majored in art at college but life got in the way and l haven't been able to follow this passion seriously till now.
i studied a BA in Visual and Fine Arts through Curtin University and am now exploring my creative pathway.
l enjoy working with watercolours for their random nature which results in unexpected and unpredictable outcomes. More recently l have experimenting with acrylics and glazes to achieve similar blends and depth.
As an emergent artist, l have found the bonus has been meeting some amazing and inspiring artists through workshops and exhibitions. They keep me inspired.
