I love the space painting takes me to, the energy I receive when I am in the moment. I like to work large and put in as much energy as I am getting out. I have began doing Murals in the last couple of years which is good for the hip pocket as it is for my sole. Please take a journey to my website. Nature is my main subject.

New work and higher res coming soon, please watch this space!!!!!!!

My work is available through my web site, where I produce the old fashion medium format prints, up to 20”x 30”.
Most of my images are on negatives so will have to get them digital first! Only just got myself a digital SLR, great for taking high res photos of my art work.

During and after university I worked with the National Parks Service and travelled extensively around Australia, photographing dramatic landscapes, unique wildlife and intermit close-ups of textures and reflections on film.

From 1994 to 1999 I sold and exhibited my photography in my own and other Gallery’s on the Sunshine Coast, QLD.

Much of my childhood was spent growing up in Swan Hill, country Victoria. In 1999 I moved back to my home town and worked in the Natural Science field again for a while, until children and now my art as well. With my husband and 2 children I live on our farm at Mystic Park.

I began to fulfil a growing ambition to paint and draw, completing 1st year drawing, painting and black & white photography at the Swan Hill Tafe in the year 2000. Since then I have had many solo and group exhibitions of my paintings and photography. I also teach art (school children at present). My art is inspired by the local landscape and its resident character’s, it captures a moment in time of pure beauty and energy or just plain fun.
