I grew up in the 60's and 70's, in a little town called Rupanyup in Victoria, Australia.
I now live in Wodonga, Victoria.
I've lived in a few other places over the course of my life, which has been quite the journey, which can reflect in some of my paintings.
Having a career in art and design was not the norm back in the 70's, so I became a nurse then a midwife, which was wonderful.
I also studied Interior Design for a short time in 2011.
I've been paining most of my life... painting is an expression and a feeling, a mood and discovery of textures and movement.
My work has been commissioned and sold over the course of my life. It hangs in many homes across Australia and has been commissioned for display homes in Wodonga.
I've had gallery showings at Wodonga Taffe and highly commended work at this year's Alexandra Rotary Art Show.
Usually I paint with acrylic on canvas, using several textural mediums, with a palette knife or what ever I can find to create with.
Some of my work is quite tactile, and an expression of a mood or feeling. Sometimes inspired by nature and life's " roller coaster" ride.
I would call my Art" Expressionistic", evoking a mood.
I hope to provoke feelings in the observer and the sensation of wanting to touch my work. Feeling connected...
Mostly, I never "attack" a painting with any preconceived plan it just tends to happen, and if it doesn't, then try, try again.
I hope my work can give you a feeling, bright cheerfulness and/or contentment
