ABOUT ME.......
I have lived on Banks Peninsula, with my husband & our 3 children since 1998
Painting has always been a passion, originally with watercolour but over the last few years I have really enjoyed working with oils as well, there are many different techniques for both, so experimenting & developing my own style is ongoing.
Having taken art as a chosen subject through school and having a mother who enjoyed painting as a hobby, the interest has always been there, so now the children have left home, there is more time to explore the amazing world of art & take my passion further.
To date animals & birds have mainly been my subject of choice, I love the challenge of bringing them alive and endeavouring to reflect their personality on canvas.
Other than painting, my interests include horses/breeding (show jumping, which the girls are still actively involved) farming, gardening & photography.. we have an array of non-human family members, so there is never a shortage of subject matter!
I have attended various watercolour workshops including Ron Esplin, a renown NZ Watercolour artist & exhibited paintings at "Riversdale Arts" 2016 & 2017
The world of art is amazing and the beauty of it is that there's no right or wrong, it is what it is and the possibilities are endless.
"A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art." Paul Cezanne
"Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” Vincent Van Gogh
