About the Artist

I have been painting now for over 20 years and am still learning.

Botanical Art was my first love but now I enjoy new challenges.

I apply all my knowledge of different media and techniques to new subjects.

Pet portraits bring a lot of happiness to people and I enjoy using pastel pencils, capturing their soul first with the eyes.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others and watching their skills improve and their awareness of their surroundings become second nature.

Art has become an essential part of my life and brings me great joy.

Artist Profile Stories

I want there to be more arts and crafts in our world, in our communities and in our own lives. Hopefully you’ve found this blog post inspiring and interesting.

So I’m creating, with your help, Art Trails Tasmania, allowing all of us who feel this love to create more of it.

And the Art Trails Tasmania blog is a key part of making this happen, telling the stories of members. It’s about what they have happening with workshops and classes, exhibitions, open studio trails, where to find their outlets, markets, fairs and festivals so you can shop their creations as well as their art and craft retreats.

Also being shared are the supporters of our artists, the galleries, shops, cafes, art societies and groups, places to stay and artist in residencies.
