Born in Melbourne and grew up in Adelaide. I’ve always loved to paint.  As someone said, “it’s a journey of discovery, you never cease to enjoy”.  So after deciding Commercial Art was to be my career, I enrolled in the Adelaide School of Arts.

Happily my husband Robert was a graduate of the Los Angeles Art Centre, and influenced and encouraged me in my Artistic endeavours.  Whilst raising our daughter Kim, we spent many years travelling in the USA and Europe with my husband’s business career, built a Holiday Resort on the South Coast of NSW, and for a time, the Hospitality industry became my career.   Painting continues to play  a major part in my life.

In my teens,Leonard Long introduced me to Landscape painting.  I then studied portraiture with Yve Close and Joshua Smith at their Lane Cove School.  Later enrolled with the Royal Art Society, and studied with Alan Hansen, Judy Pennyfather, Alan Sommerville and Nafisia Naomi.

I am currently an exhibiting member of the Royal Art Society, Portrait Artists Australia, the Mosman Art Society and the Lane Cove Art Society.
