I have been a Sunbury resident for the past 38 years and began painting in 2010. In the past, my career has been as
a Graphic Designer working with both state government and local government including Hume City Council and Brimbank City Council.
I have been teaching art classes across Hume and the Macedon Ranges, for both adults and children since 2012. Teaching watercolour, acrylics, pastel and drawing in Sunbury (Art House Direct), Craigieburn (Community & Education Centre Inc.), Gisborne (Macedon Ranges Further Education Centre), Riddells Creek (Neighbourhood House), and Woodend (Neighbourhood House).
My teaching and exhibiting allows me to continue to develop as an observer, an artist and a lifelong learner.
I have paintings that have been sold to overseas collections including Canada, England, Ireland and New Zealand. During the last eight years I have been exhibiting at many art shows throughout Victoria where I consistently have buyers of my works and have received awards regularly (as listed below).
