About Me
I began photography at the age of seven when I received my first box Brownie camera. I combined successful IT and teaching careers with semi-professional wedding and family portrait photography while overseas and in Australia. I started painting in August 2017 with one very large canvas and non-descript paint. I returned from living many years in Asia to begin a new adventure in sunny Queensland with a wish to learn to paint and grow vegetables. I joined art and community groups to start my learning curve. I'm happy to have little studio with wildlife visiting regularly and pleased with the development in my artwork. I am no specialist in any one genre of art and present collage, printmaking, acrylic, oil and cold wax and apply anything I can to canvas or board. I now have a passion for art and exhibit widely and with success.
I hope you too will enjoy my artwork and maybe choose to have one on your own walls.
