I started painting at Crib Point where I grew up.  Continued in school -primary and secondary-  the latter under Sr Germain's tutorage at Padua Collage.

I painted for pleasure and for gifts at home, I started painting scenesarround parks in Sydney.

My mother entered my paintings in the hastings festival art shows while I was overseas. I contiued  in this mode for a few years. I attended art classes in Frankston with my mother, but nothing formal till I started at Cranbourne Community Centre. With a group of students we compleated  the Artways Foundation certificate with Trish Knox who ran the local government Initiative.

Since then I have entered pictures in cube 37,  Balnarring Gallery and  St Francis Xavior primary school art show.

I attend regular workshops and summer school with Chris and Dawn Stubbs, Lois Brown and Charles McCubbin.  Also workshops at Peninsular Art Society.

With our original group at the Community centre we have conducted Exhibitions at the Cheese Factory and I had

one solo event  this year,  I have  sold quit a few and had some commissions.  So far  I use oils, watercolour, Pastels and acrylics.

 I still work part time as a nurse and baby sit my two grand chidren. two days a  week.
