I have painted in oils & acrylics over the years, then in 2006 I was introduced to encaustic art, and a great love affair using coloured beeswax as a medium, began. I taught mysself to paint with wax on large canvas, as well as on a pair of jeans for the Blue Mountains charity, Jamm 4 Genes. Other fundraiser artworks include: “Arty Bra” Blue Mountains Cancer Help, The Brave Awards, ACON NSW, Winmalee high school Artfest, & most recently, the Nepal Disaster Relief Auction organised by international singer, Toni Childs. Two of my paintings are featured in the new Cancer Wing of Nepean Hospital, with another in the foyer of the Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy Centre, Penrith.
Passionate about inspiring art in the community, I have run classes in wax art for Blacktown Women’s Health Centre, Springwood Neighbourhood Centre , Blue Mountains Cancer Help, and most recently for Blue Mountains Family Services Katoomba, and Winmalee, Blaxland, & Lawson neighbourhood Community centres; running school holiday art programmes for children.
