Growing up in Glenbrook NSW in the 50's and 60's instilled my appreciation of the Australian landscape. I have worked as an artist for the last 45 years or so, while raising 3 girls and working part time jobs with women, young people and children. During that time I was involved in community art, working with my husband, Malcolm King, other artists and various community groups to create murals, mosaics, music and fabric art works. A favourite being the garden mural in Leura mall, Blue Mountains, NSW, which is still in situ after 40 years.
I own and operate Kingstudio in Newbury Victoria art studios. Open random weekends or by appointment. (Formerly a gallery and BnB, previously in Milton on the south coast and Maclean on the northern Rivers in NSW)
I am a painter now working in acrylics . The transition from oil to acrylic has created a new style in the work I create which I describe as traditional, contemporary, semi abstract, naive landscape.
Sculptural work is becoming more a part of my practice in recent years.
