I was born in England, grew up in ZImbabwe and have travelled extensively.
I worked as a Registered Nurse and Midwife then emigrated to Australia in 1982.
In 1993 I joined the Peninsula and McClelland Art Societies and have been painting regularly since.
I have had wonderful Tutors in Watercolours and Acrylics -including Joan Bognuda, Robert Wade, Ron Muller,
Malcolm Beattie and Colin Johnson who taught me to 'see'!

We had pretty good show considering it was run as a COVID Safe Event with timed 2 hour sessions and ticketed. We achieved Sales above 20% grossing $104k (including Artist in Residence) which was our highest result ever and yielding an averaging selling price point of $537.
