Following is a little information about myself and my
art.
After a life-long interest in art I took up painting
upon part-time retirement in 1990. Encouraged by a friend who was
a well known watercolourist I joined her classes and attended for
3 years.
Since then I have attended many classes and workshops
conducted by other leading artists in a variety of fields including
Pastels, Acrylics and Mixed Media. I have enjoyed my expriences
with all these forms of painting but Watercolour remains my favourite
medium.
From my travels around Australia I have painted landscapes
and seascapes from first hand views and of course I particularly
love the beautiful scenery of the Blue Mountains, my home of 20
years. Flowers and garden scenes have also inspired many paintings.
My works are exhibited on a regular basis and I have
received several awards. Many of my paintings have been sold over
the years and are hung in private collections locally, interstate
and overseas.
I am an active participant in the society of Mountain artists which provides valuable interaction with fellow artists, access
to workshops, demonstations and regular exhibitions. I have held
positions on the Board of Directors of the Society and as Co-ordinator
of the Society's Art Gallery at Everglades, Leura.
