I live in Banksia Grove. I have always wanted to learn how to paint but have never worked up the courage to go to classes. When we moved into our current house several years ago, I found myself fortunate enough to have a studio out back. So I thought I would have a go myself.
My love of animals inspired me to start painting them (I usually work from a photo). I was thrilled to find my first painting of my beloved Papillon turned out so well, I found myself getting some commissions for other people’s pets. I usually paint with acrylics but have also done some pencil and pastel drawings that have turned out quite well.
