Born in New Zealand, I’ve been a resident of Australia for 20 years and now consider Perth to be my home.
I work primarily with acrylic paint. I also love collage, using hand printed papers to add pattern and texture.
I have always felt the need to extend my techniques and attend workshops whenever I am able.
The primeval nature of the Australian landscape always fascinates and awes me. It’s unique flora and fauna feature strongly in my art work.
In 2012 my painting of an aboriginal woman from New Norcia won best painting at the Joondalup Community Art Awards.
My multi media piece “Discover Disappear” won expert panel
award at the Joondalup Art Gallery in 2014. In this art work I used photographs from National Geographic magazines which I dissolved to create beautiful textures and patterns to highlight the fragile ecosystems of the Kimberley.
