My childhood creative interests developed an ongoing passion to depict through my artwork my love of the Gippsland countryside and beyond.

I use mainly oils and acrylics to detail the nooks and crannies, colours and textures of the creeks, bushland, gums and gardens that so inspire me.

Numerous local, Gippsland and regional prizes have been awarded to me over the years and successful solo and shared exhibitions have enabled my paintings to be enjoyed by many.
