Born in NZ and growing up in Marlborough and Nelson before moving to Australia with my family in 2006, I have always had a passion for art and design and creating. My favourite subject matter is nature, whether it is a large colourful flower, or a traditional seascape or landscape, I find them equally inspirational. My preferred medium is oil and I love the vibrancy and colour oils provide. I enjoy watching the process from putting the paint onto the canvas to the beautiful soft edges achieved by blending. I have also more recently returned to using water colour and love this challenging and unpredictable but very interesting medium.
