My passion is to create works of art that touch people deeply. Guided by intuition, I represent both the physical and unseen worlds of our innermost fantasies and desires. The human face and the human condition fascinate me most. In portraits I aim to capture the essence of a person’s spirit, their values, personal treasures and how they see the world.

I’ve been painting for over 40 years. Like many women, I had a young family and worked in other fields while maintaining my art practice - designing public murals, running art workshops and taking portrait commissions in my spare time.

In 2002, I came to an acceptance that my managerial career was not what made my soul sing and this led to a return to art school and the beginning of a new life. My first solo art exhibition was in 2005 at the Piece Gallery in Mullumbimby, NSW.

Since then, I’ve exhibited in a number of galleries and group shows through NSW and Qld. I live in Brisbane and enjoy teaching others to express themselves creatively, creating my own artworks and doing private commissions.

I am inspired by Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) and my most recent artwork is somewhat surreal and very symbolic in nature.
