I am captivated by the wonderful light and colour we have in this part of the world.... I surf and enjoy our clean,clear ocean and am constantly challenged to capture that feeling of sunshine and warmth on canvas.
I enjoy using various mediums and trying new things. Love drawing animals and people mainly.
I started with pencil, then turned to pen & ink drawings, then had a go with pastels, now I'm trying Acrylic paint and have had a go at a few small oil paintings.
I also tinker with wood carving and making beaded jewellery
I started my career in Adelaide as a commercial artist/graphic designer, when illustration was an important part of the process. Always interested in the human form, I concentrated on fashion and costume drawing and life drawing.
Since then I have raised a family, worked in television, advertising, and until recently co owned an advertising agency with my husband.
