My Story
I have enjoyed painting and drawing from an early age. However, work, study, career and family meant that it was not until the work/life balance was just right could I indulge my passion for art. Moving to Tumut, living in a very picturesque area and being able to travel to outback areas in Australia, Tasmania and overseas, has given me the incentive to immerse myself in painting with with my favourite mediums of oils and pastels. My other passions, aviation (I am a pilot) and gardening, have also influenced the subject areas I paint – landscapes, nature and portraits are my major subject areas which are relatable to my own experiences and ingrained into my personal life.
I started exhibiting artworks in 2014 at the Tumut Art Society’s Gallery and had my first solo exhibition in 2016. My work has been described as impressionistic paintings which are ‘fresh yet realistic……vibrant and inviting….giving her work an authentic feel’. I have won prizes and commendations for my artworks entered in a limited number of exhibitions. Artworks sold now reside in the UK, Sydney, and regional areas of NSW.
I look forward to continuing my art journey and exhibiting more artworks in the
future.
