Gympie, QLD
As an award-winning artist and art tutor for almost 30 years, I am delighted to now be involved with Art Lovers Australia. My passion is about finding truth and beauty in the natural world, conveying the amazing effects of light and shadows, and using colour to advantage.
Artworks: 6
Born in Sydney and now living in Gympie after 30 years on the Gold Coast, I am a representational artist with almost 30 years teaching experience.
Art is such an important part of my life. The need to create is a strong force that is both stimulating and satisfying. I also enjoy the challenge of learning new skills and it is especially beneficial being able to pass on what I’ve learnt to students in the many art classes and workshops that I tutor.
Painting florals in watercolour is my particular passion. I strive to create uplifting paintings of truth and beauty, pieces that are a pleasure to live with and that inspire the viewer. Sunlight dancing on transparent petals, the nuances of colour in shadows and reflective lights; these are subjects that motivate me to record nature in some of its finest moments. Coloured pencils are another medium I have explored since the beginning of my art career, with recognition gained through articles written for leading art magazines.
Quickly produced work is not my style. Focusing on details of the natural world is a contemplative experience for me and I enjoy the process as much as the outcome.
