I am a Brisbane based emerging artist having painted as a hobby from a young age. Pursuing a creative career, my background is in Interior Design (Bach App. Sc. Built Environment QUT 1991). This has no doubt influenced the way I see and interpret subjects in art.

Returning to painting after health issues, art has now become my main vocation and passion. I work primarily in Oils and occasionally in acrylics/mixed media. Colour and composition are vital to my paintings that aim to capture subjects I am drawn to in a vivid and striking style. While I enjoy tackling a variety of topics including portraiture and floral, landscapes and architecture feature heavily in my portfolio. I am inspired by Travel and in recent years my focus has turned to our unique Australian landscape; in particular our stunning beaches, waterways and rocks.

I hope that through my artwork, I can share the joy I feel in capturing these beautiful environments with others.
