Most of my inspiration comes from our wonderful local marine environment, giving me unlimited subject matter.  Occasionally, for a little variety, I enjoy painting flowers. I’m a dedicated and passionate part-time artist who has been living, working and painting in Manly, Wynnum and Lota since moving to bayside Brisbane in 2009. I had previously lived on the Gold Coast for two years, and Sunshine Coast for 25 years after leaving my home town of Melbourne in the early 80’s. Along…

I am a self taught potter with no formal training. I began when my 2 children were very small and we lived on a farm on the Murray River in southern New South Wales. Although isolated from other potters, I was able to phone my mother for advice as she had taken up pottery several years before me. These calls always ended with her saying that if in doubt, then read the “Potters Manual”.

I draw my inspiration from my love of life, nature and exceptionally beautiful surrounds which resonates in my painting techniques. My art celebrates the beauty and wonder of the world, engaging viewers…

I am inspired by our beautiful wildflowers and wildlife. Dedicated to realism I strive to portray the essence of my subject. I have recently discovered pastels, and I am new to acrylic. I have added pet portraiture, painting blue and white Chinoiserie objects, still life, fine coloured pencil…

“I don’t know in advance what I am going to put on canvas any more than I decide beforehand what colours I am going to use.” Pablo Picasso Picasso’s statement very much reflects the way I approach my art practise. I prefer to start with an initial mark or stroke of colour and paint intuitively allowing the painting to develop as the layers are applied. The physicality and tactile properties of multi layered paint and mixed media in the pure…
