Background

I am an award-winning artist living in Perth, WA and the past President of North Coast Art Club, Inc. based in Carramar. Colour is deeply personal and can change how you feel within a space. Whether it is the art you bring into your home, or the walls and furniture you pair it with, how and where you add colour can be a daunting decision. I hope my art can assist you in this decision.

I have always loved painting and began painting professionally after retiring from university teaching fifteen years ago. My formal art education consists of four years of art study at high school in Sydney followed by a semester at East Sydney Technical College. Although my preferred medium is acrylic I also experiment with mixed media and a variety of styles and subjects. I love to play with bright colours and, in particular, those that are complementary, enjoying the brightness achieved by their juxtaposition. My favourite subjects to paint are seascapes, birds, animals, abstracts and children but I am willing to paint other subjects when commissioned. I love to take on challenges and extend my skills with a variety of subjects, often working on up to four paintings at a time as my mood takes me. I have a large studio attached to my home and there is always a painting in progress on one of my easels.
