About the Artist
Art and creativity has been part of my life since I was a teenager. A initial career as a graphic designer transformed into career in fine art, as my own ideas and concepts wanted to be seen. A love of art, painting, drawing and printmaking that is a passion I carry with me every day.
With a Bachelor of Fine Art, a Diploma in Visual Art and a Bachelor of Graphic Design, plus many workshops, ongoing training and experimentation over the last 25 years my skills and confidence have developed. Group exhibitions, 2 joint exhibitions and one solo exhibition have gained me recognition. Sharing my knowledge with others though teaching has brought me much joy.
My paintings and drawings are held in private collections in both Australia and Internationally.
Artist Statement
A love of surrealism, quirkiness and wit takes my art to a level above the everyday. Not satisfied with just presenting an object, animal, flower or scene just for itself, I love to put a fresh twist on objects that take them to a surreal level. Developing a narrative, thinking outside the box, mixing it up are all my favourite ways of preparing an artwork, but presented with the traditional oil painting methods of the old masters.
Animals feature strongly in my work, shown in a realistic painting style but with an element of surrealism that takes the work past the obvious to create a narrative, a quirky twist or a deeper meaning.
Original works that are available are displayed in the individual image text.
