I am a self taught artist with a passion for nature. I love nothing more than walking through the bush,
sitting by a waterfall or spending time with animals. I often use the photographs I take as my inspiration for my artwork.
After dabbling in drawing, painting and photography throughout my life, I had always wanted to undertake art in a more serious way.
With family and work commitments this wasn’t possible till we moved to NZ in 2017.
I started using pastels in 2019 after a workshop with Maxine Thompson. I immediately fell in love with the medium.
I have extended my learning through attending classes, workshops, conventions as well as doing online courses.
I still work in other mediums as I have a craving to continue to challenge myself, but always come back to pastels.
I have been lucky enough to be accepted in local, national and international exhibitions, including acceptance into two IAPS exhibitions.
I am in awe of the work I see in these exhibitions, as well as the work of our own PANZ artists. It continues to inspire me.
Painting is my happy place. It is something I try to do every day. I will never stop learning.
