Statement:

I am addicted to the art of creating. This is more important than the finished product, though it is pleasing to obtain a pleasing result. Visually I am attracted to the human form and love to capture movement and gestures. In my other life I am a nurse and I think that people are fascinating creatures, both behaviourally and visually.

I have sold works at the Camberwell art show, Warrandyte Rotary art Show, Mont De Lancey Art Show, Bayswater Rotary Art Show, through shows with Ringwood art society and AGRA. My art works are in private collections in Victoria, NSW and England. I have been involved with a group called Innovision who collectively exhibited together. I am a committee member of the Ringwood art Society and I am committed and passionate about art.
