I am a contemporary mixed media artist and teacher, living and working in S E Queensland.

I believe art has the power to somehow link the artist with the viewer, heart to heart. I hope you may find a thread within my work which resonates personally with you.

LOOSENING THE SHACKLES mixed media on canvas, 60cm x 60cm

shortlisted for the MORETON BAY REGION ART AWARDS

Inspiration arose from watching the eucalypts on my property freely relinquish their bark, in Nature’s transformational process.  As I recorded the gradual changes in texture, colour and marks, I began to see that my own inner transformation also required me to follow the same pattern of ‘loosening the shackles’ of the past, and the agendas I no longer needed.
