I’m always in awe of artists. Artists offer a piece of their heart every time they create something and it doesn’t matter if one person sees it or 1000. When I was younger, I was fascinated with the master painters of old, but wasn’t able to embrace my own innate creativity until mid-life, busting self-myths that I wasn’t arty or wasn’t good enough.
A self-taught artist, I enjoy the freedom of play, enthusiasm and experimentation in my art and enjoy painting colourful abstracts; seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary. Acrylics are my preferred medium. I love their quick drying times and vibrant colours.
I’ve had the privilege to exhibit my work in a number of local government art awards and I enjoy giving back to the art community through volunteering with various community art groups.
I love sharing the art journey and assisting people to bust their own myths that hold back their creative and radiant selves.
I have always loved art…..painting and drawing and wonder how my life would have been if I had taken up the opportunity I had, years ago, of going to Art College. However, my love of travel won over and landed me in Australia from the UK in the early eighties.
Now that I have more time on my hands, I have picked up the paintbrush again and have enjoyed getting lost in the world of art! I experimented with pastels which I fell in love with straight away which lead me to join the Pastel Society of WA. I belong to NCAC also and paint with acrylics and watercolour and have been dabbling with Alcohol Inks which is taking me outside my comfort zone of Realism, but I love the vibrancy of the colours.
I have been commissioned to do some artworks for friends and family over the past few years. Below are some of the works I have done , including pictures of peoples homes and wedding bouquets. If you like my work and would like something commissioned please email the club and they will be in contact with me.
