For years I have been creating acrylic paintings and experimenting with various techniques. I am drawn to colourful images and the challenge of capturing a transient moment. When I am not creating art, I am reading about art or thinking about the next painting.

My inspiration is mostly drawn from flowers, a long-held love from a gardening family. I also create abstract artworks with free-flowing acrylics, responding intuitively to parts by chance and developing other sections by choice. My works are vivid and colourful, their subject matter mostly flowers, birds and bold landscapes.

I use some of my original artworks to create notecards and giclee prints. To paint and create has been a life long passion, including a design major as part of my degree. For over 10 years I have attended courses at BIA and other targeted workshops. I have had success in selling my work and hope the recipients receive some of the joy that I experience in making them.
