    Background

    Maureen lives in Kilmore, North of Melbourne Victoria.  Maureen commenced oil painting lessons for two years with local artist Pauline Cross in 1987 at the Living and Learning Centre in Eltham.  She had lived in the area for approximately 30 years.

    She moved on to take lessons in oil for 1 year with another local artist, Noella Clohesy at the Diamond Valley Arts Society.  She didn’t enjoy the medium so further instruction followed comprising two terms of watercolour experience with well known Australian Artist Herman Pekel and two years with Giselle Bolitin Maynard.  Maureen is mainly self taught in the wet on wet style which she finds exciting and challenging.

    Maureen loves a challenge and loves to paint figures, flowers, boats, landscapes, seascapes, buildings and native birds.  She also enjoys portraiture using pastels. 

    She exhibits locally and is well known for her loose spontaneous style.
