I have been living in Banyule all of my life and love being surrounded by the lovely people, gorgeous gardens and abundance of bird life we are so fortunate to have around us. I loved my early school years at Rosanna Primary School and Ivanhoe Girls Grammar where I was encouraged and nurtured by dedicated teachers who encouraged my love of The Arts and of learning.

Observing and appreciating nature is the starting point of all my artmaking. Flowers and their colours captivate me, no matter the season. At the time of writing this the camelias and wattle are in full bloom, their splash of colour punctuates the winter with a beautiful natural harmony. Everywhere I look, no matter the time of year, flowers and the colours of leaves and plants draw me into a reverie and inspire me to make art. My art is the tangible expression of my love of life and is a celebration of the beauty that surrounds me.
Many of the flowers in my artworks have come from my garden or from the beautiful florists that we are lucky to have in our area. I am primarily interested in exploring the play of colour harmonies in nature and viscerally feeling the energy that flows and radiates through the natural objects while I am observing them. Creating a response to them in the form of an artwork puts me in the flow where there is no need to think or follow any particular method, style or formula.
