If you followed the breadcrumbs of what led me to becoming an artist, you would find inspiration from many places throughout the world. My love of travel and love of country influences my work, I enjoy the freedom to create a body of work with an eclectic mix. 

My love of and interest in travel influences my work, as does my love of country, and I enjoy the freedom to create a body of work with an eclectic mix. From early childhood creating art has always had a place on the map of my  journey in life.

I have studied under some amazingly generous and wonderful artists who have inspired and encouraged me to continue to follow the trail in art".

my journey
in the world of art

I have participated in many group exhibitions over a number of decades, and I joined in the 2022 'I Am' Arts Trail on Stradbroke Island.

 My works have received a Commended and a Highly Commended in two separate juried exhibitions in Cleveland, Qld. Being a member of several Art Groups in South East Queensland, Australia brought opportunities to connect with other artists to share ideas, dreams, passions and visions.  I have studied under a long list of tutors in various mediums including Graphite, Watercolour, Pastel, Acrylic Paint, Acrylic Ink, Gouache, Oil paint, and have experimented with Chinese Brushwork and Lino Printing.I have painted landscapes, seascapes and floral work, along with still life and architectural work.  My present interest is in continuing an earlier exploration into Abstract Art and discovering new things

 

Earlier tutors who influenced my work were:

Ray Moultspiers, Dixie Lambert, Pat Hoffie, Carolyn Dodds and Karl Homes  

 

More recently I have studied with:

•Louise Fletcher in 2 of her 10 week - Find Your Joy Courses

•Gabriella Buckingham - Experimental Still Life Course

•Nicholas Wilton - several short courses.

Plus  I am presently enrolled in, and loving, the 12 - week Creative Visionary Program (CVP) with Nick
