My paintings start with photography, a passion I discovered on my travels in Africa. Now I love capturing all the spectacular beauty around me, from the bush to the beach. The images I capture on these adventures become the inspirations for my art.
I currently paint with dimensional acrylic paint, ink and oil pastels. It’s so exhilarating seeing something that only existed in your mind or in a photograph begin to come to life through paint stokes on a canvas.
I have always been a creative person.
People tell me I have lived many lives.
Hairdresser…. Mother…. Retailer…. Wildlife Carer….. Zoo Keeper …. & Artist.
I was a hair stylist for the first 32 years of my career. In my next life, I owned a craft store for many years, whilst raising my two precious daughters. My love of animals lead me to become a wildlife carer to many beautiful Australian native animals. A passion that turned into 3 years of study and a once in a lifetime role as a Zookeeper at Sydney’s Taronga Zoo.
I now enjoying living on the beautiful South Coast, soaking up everything this beautiful part of NSW has to offer and telling my stories though my art.
I believe we are all story tellers.
I express joy through my art and my photography.
