For as long as I can remember I have always loved drawing so when I finally made the decision to follow my heart and take up the study of art I was so excited.

I have studied under many leading artists in different mediums and subject matter, including pastel techniques, printmaking, drawing, Iife drawing, portraiture, pen and wash, and acrylic painting. I love the pastel medium, the vibrancy of the colours and its directness of application but I also enjoy working in charcoal, acrylic paint and ink. Drawing forms the foundation of each of my artworks and I love capturing the essence of the subject matter.

I paint what inspires me and brings me joy. To observe art that encapsulates joy and makes you smile every time you look at it, is uplifting and inspiring. Collectors of my art have described my artworks as "Pieces of Happiness" and this fits in with why I paint which is, to uplift, inspire and bring joy. My artworks are about capturing the beauty of life, the people we love, the places we've been, the animals we love and the angels that surround us.

I have taken part in many art shows and have had multiple successful solo exhibitions in Melbourne and more locally on the Mornington Peninsula. I have been the recipient of numerous art awards including Best Pastel, Best Cityscape, Best Landscape and Best WildIife and have achieved signature status of the Pastel Society of Victoria, Australia.
