“self expression & painting were valued� cutting away
frangipani girl
Growing up, my family encouraged artistic involvement, where selfexpression and in particular, painting, was a valued form of communication.
“my favourite medium has to be oil” two minds My favourite medium has to be oil; I love the buttery smooth texture of the paint and its ability to be transformed—pushed and pulled—on linen, canvas or board. I am also known to spend hours in meditation with a pen, drawing.

emerging
A degree in Human Movement and Kinesiology supports my in-depth understanding of the body and its musculature when painting portraits or people.
letting go
Largely a self-taught painter, my work is highly unique and always totally one-off, though similar themes often emerge
“I completely surrender to the subject� higher consciousness
earth girl
Completely captivated and excited by the subconscious and surrealism in painting, I apply a technique of complete surrender to the subject matter.
new beginnings
Whether it is commissioned portraits, landscapes, pen drawings or imagined surreal visions, I allow the work to reveal itself.
“I love working with bright colours� green eyes
moon lady
I love working with bright colours and deep contrasts of light and dark, though I often create a painting with just two colours.
“I am fascinated by indigenous shamanic art� angel whispers
In Australia, Albert Tucker and James Gleeson have an edge to their work that intrigues me. I am also fascinated by indigenous shamanic art.

“surrealism greatly influences my art� cleanse

The French and Spanish Surrealists Rene Magritte, Yves Tanguy and Salvador Dali and the Belgian Surrealist Paul Delvaux are the great European influences for my art.
the bridge
I find joy in the creation of a bridge, one that is unique and emerges between the individual viewer and the art, a path to a deeper discovery into his, or her, own reality.
