Traditional oil painting using less toxic material and hand mixed paint is part of Lulu’s art practice.  

She uses Spike Lavender Oil and hand-mixed paints from natural pigments in her figurative themes, still life, landscapes through to portraits. Portraits and figures are painted from life with most landscapes started plein air or inspired by plein air studies. Lulu also runs a figure-drawing group.

Her work is held in collections in France, England, New Caledonia, New Zealand as well as Australia.   

She featured in the Fairfax media -  Sydney Morning Herald/The Age throughout Australia for her ongoing portrait of scientist, Hans Brunner,  who helped exonerate Lindy Chamberlain. The portrait was done from many sittings.
