Summer of 69

The Summer of 69: 'I knew it was now or never. Those days were the best days of my life.'
A nod to freedom, summer, VW Kombi vans, surfing, and as singer, songwriter Bryan Adams revealed, 69 does not necessarily refer to the year.
VW Kombi's often had a sign in their back windows: 'If it's rockin', don't bother knockin'.
My acrylic painting is created with professional materials throughout. Its design extends around the edges so does not require framing. It is finished with two coats of satin varnish and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Wherever you hang it, my painting is sure to brighten your day and bring a smile to your face.

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.
