' Ampol - Kangaroo Island '

After discovering a wonderful old Ampol map of South Australia whilst tidying my studio, a series of small studies of South Australia evolved.
Using sections of the map as a base, iconic symbols of the various regions were painted in acrylic over the surface of the map.
Kangaroo Island is a popular tourist destination in South Australia, offering abundant wildlife, wilderness , beautiful beaches and of course, kangaroos.
This artwork would work well paired up with another piece from this series and is varnished and ready to hang.

I live in the picturesque Adelaide Hills where I paint and teach from my home studio, ' The Dairy Studio/Gallery '.
I have undergone lessons with Adelaide artists Viv Newcombe and Sylvia Preston.
Although the journey to where I am now has been both rewarding and frustrating, I have slowly built up my skills and confidence to the point where I exhibit and sell my work. I love to paint in watercolours and acrylics and love to experiment with texture and additional materials to create mixed media artworks. My inspiration is drawn from the wonders of creation and total contentment comes whilst being absorbed in the process of creating new works.
I have exhibited my work throughout Adelaide and regional South Australia and held a solo exhibition in 2010 at 'Gallery M' and in 2018 at my home studio. I have also exhibited in the very popular South Australian SALA Festival on many occasions.
I also enjoy being a member of the ' Willunga Arts Collective ' who exhibit in The Glass Studio in rural Willunga SA.
