After originally graduating with a BA Hons in Graphic Design from Brighton University in England, I changed my career slightly and worked as an illustrator when I arrived in Brisbane in 1991. This developed my love of painting which I have nurtured ever since!

 

I am a very keen gardener and my paintings are inspired by the textures, colours and dazzling sunlight of Australian gardens and bushland. I flood my stretched paper canvases with colour before sealing them in a UV stabilised and waterproof coating. The images remain vibrant and accessible without being hidden behind glass; breathing new life into the medium.

 

If you have a favourite subject I would love to discuss with you a commissioned piece to suit your size, colour and price specifications.
