“While I have done many things in life so far, studying, working as CEO in adult and professional education and travelling extensively, I truly think I was born to paint! I get great joy from creating and more so when my art is appreciated and sought by viewers and collectors. I am so fortunate to live and create in the World Heritage Listed Area of The Blue Mountains, and take most of my inspirations from its natural environs and my own sprawling Studio gardens and the everchanging landscape

I love sharing my art and run a number of popular art classes and workshops in from my studio and I am regularly invited to give demonstrations at the Society of Mid Mountains Artists.   I enjoy being an active member of the vibrant Blue Mountains arts community.
You can find me on Instagram, and locally my art is represented at the beautiful Gallery NWC in Katoomba. Visitors to the Blue Mountains are always welcome to browse my Studio and boutique gallery by appointment
