MY STORYMy art practice has evolved over time. Beginning with a love of art as a child and studying art throughout my education. to creating a lifestyle change that includes making, curating and collecting art.
Working in education allowed me to teach and inspire my students through art. Raising two creative daughters meant there was always some form of art happening in the home; from painting, drawing, designing, dancing, singing and music making. Whilst my career advanced in education and my daughters grew up, I never lost my own desire to be creative. Returning to art classes afforded me the time and space to pursue my own creative endeavours. Being the student was a pleasant shift and I soaked up everything that the teaching artists shared and loved learning alongside other artists. Now living in far north NSW, my art practice has become a major part of my life. Everyday I am surrounded by the amazing scenery of the Tweed and beyond. The open seas, the green valleys and mountain ranges, and the winding river networks. I paint these incredible vistas and take inspiration from the changing colours and forms as they emerge. |
