One of the simplest joys in life as a young family living in south western Sydney was a day trip to Stanwell Park via Stanwell Tops, NSW
We'd always stop at the top of the escarpment to watch the gliders of all kinds fly in the sky! Those simple joys became loving memories for me so what better than to paint the delights of a famous coastline near the city of Sydney.
My contemporary form of line and colour depict the cool shades of summer while a paraglider weaves his magic in the air. It's simple, yet recognisable to those who frequent the area and feel the connection they have with the land, air and for us, the sea.
Great for those who enjoy contemporary/ naif art or those who love the story behind the painting. Be creative and visualise your journey with me. Thankyou for looking xx

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
Hello everyone!
I have travelled far and wide with my husband's work for 20 odd years to numerous states around Australia and twice to the USA. I suppose you can call me a defence spouse, Army style!
It was during a posting to the US where I became the 'accidental artist', painting local scenes around Leavenworth County, Kansas and selling my art through word of mouth! This crazy journey has inspired me to continue my love for painting scenes throughout Australia
I feel my artwork is, by virtue, the colours I see and the lines that define them. My art is bright, bold, joyful, unique depictions of life around me through numerous journeys I've encountered in a nature loving form. I draw inspiration from female artists in Maude Lewis, Georgia O'Keefe and Heather Brown who created their own distinct styles and a belief in themselves
For me and my art style, I seek collectors who dare to venture into bright pop/ naive/ contemporary art.
I focus mainly on acrylics and black markers using small to medium size canvas or acrylic paper. Certain picture frames are repurposed and matted with love to reduce the landfill we humans love to create.
I want my artwork to be different, a little obscure, very animated, yet recognisable to admire.
I hope to bring a visual flair to those who adore creative, quirky pieces that express pure joy and an illustrative love of life around us. Your blank wall or tiny computer nook may need a dose of gladness to brighten your
Thankyou so much for reading xx
