Although always interested in drawing and painting, my life took other directions until in 1988 after being given a box of pastels, I attended a drawing course at Noarlunga TAFE.  This led to life drawing and painting using both pastels and acrylic paint.  Since then I have been very fortunate to be able to attend many painting and printmaking workshops held by a wide variety of established artists.  I now paint in oils, acrylics and pastels.

As a child my first drawing from life was a bearded dragon found in saltbush at Whyalla and wildlife and natural history subjects have remained a fascinating subject for me and are currently my main focus.  I also enjoy painting still life, portraits and figurative studies. 

I have taken part successfully in many exhibitions and am a member of:
