Home

The concept of home is a powerful, universal symbol of safety, identity and inner peace. I have attempted to evoke these qualities in my painting of a traditional Australian weatherboard cottage set in a dappled garden of tall gum trees, iris, agapanthus and rhododendron. Two pink and grey galahs sit on the overhead power cable basking in the morning light.
Quality materials are used throughout. My acrylic painting on canvas is backed by board and comes in a traditional gold wooden frame and slip. The canvas is protected with artists’ satin varnish for protection and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Thank you for visiting my page. Painting is central to my life and happiness, and I hope you will sense an expression of joy in my work.

I paint in both oils and acrylics, choosing whatever style I feel is right for my subject, sometimes in a traditional representative manner, sometimes impressionistic, sometimes abstract. I enjoy painting nature, including flowers, trees and birds in my own garden, still life arrangements, land and seascapes.

I have painted all my life and work from my home studio. I also regularly paint with a group of artists whom I count among my best friends.

My paintings are held in private collections in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Canada.

I have won several prizes including Best Oil in Show at Mornington, Best Acrylic in show at Mount View, Best Land or Seascape at Mount View, People’s Choice at Flinders, and several High Commendations.

In 2013, I was honoured with the Order of Australia medal for services to the education of deaf children. It is lovely now, as an older woman, to have the opportunity to give back to my community as a volunteer in a program that supports parents of deaf babies and toddlers.
