Biography

Batchelor of Visual Art & Design
Registered Nurse (retired) PHH Melbourne
Post Grad Orth. Rehab. RCH Melbourne

Since the 1970s I have been engaged by various galleries curating and assisting with exhibitions. I was a teacher of fine art in secondary and tertiary institutions from 1995 to 2006. I now enjoy mentoring fellow artists whilst exhibiting and creating new works in my studio at Rhyll, Phillip Island.
My impressionist paintings visually reflect on the coastal landscape and Australian cultural affinity with the land and sea. I like to put a feeling of adventure, history and narrative into my work.
Artworks are represented in private collections within Australia and around the world including New Zealand, London, Hong Kong, Europe, Canada and America.

Connecting the land to the sea, I acknowledge the Boon Wurrung and Bunurong Communities as the Traditional Owners of Phillip Island where my studio is located. I pay my respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
