    Background

    Artist Statement

    I first started painting in watercolours in 2013 and have branched into acrylics in 2019. My main subjects are  landscapes and botanical studies.

    I am passionate about the outdoor environment and travel. This features strongly in my work. I work on 300gsm rough paper with watercolours, this allows the beautiful texture of the paper to emerge and the unpredictability of watercolour adds to the beauty of recording vivid memories. Using acrylics, I work with palette knives on board.

    My subject matter records experiences of my life’s  journeys, a most recent set of works set in Greece shows a series of doors that have survived the ravages of time, yet ask the question: What stories and memories do these hold? Another series is based on a winter walk in Namadgi National Park.

    Many of my acrylic works  have been inspired by the magnificent eucalypts of our National Parks.

    My works endeavour to capture the simple beauty of colour that light throws up around us and they most often depict different environments encountered in my travels.

    Training

    Artist Background - Training

    I have studied under Julian Bruere, a watercolourist and former Victorian Artist of the Year in Melbourne, in 2014 & 2015 and Helen Burrows a botanical artist, at the Melbourne Botanical Gardens in 2014 & 2015.

    I attended the Artist Society of Canberra 5 day Summer School  Art Experience in 2016 & 2019 engaging in workshops by Leonie Norton, Chan Dissanayake, Barry & Lucy McCann. I also attended a 2 day workshop by Chan in Goulburn in 2018. I completed a 2 day workshop with renowned Melbourne watercolourist, Herman Pekel, in 2021.

    For the past 5 years I have been a member of a Creative Drawing group led by Tim Hardy and we work at the M16 Art Space in Kingston.
