Biography
I am an Artist & Designer working across many mediums including Oils, Watercolour, Pastel & Porcelain. Born into a family of artists & potters I have had a ball of clay, a pencil or brush in my hand from an early age and a desire to create.
​
For 15yrs I have specialized in commissions for those wanting a lasting impression of their most treasured. From family portraits, to fur babies, as well as vintage cars & motorbikes.
​
With a love of nature,I prefer working from life to capture the true character and colours of my subject. My garden in the Dandenong Ranges is an endless source of inspiration ever changing through the seasons.
Inspirations
A love of Art Deco has inspired a series of portraits
'Deco Divas' which I continue to be drawn back to over the years.
​
This work of Phryne Fisher in a Butterfly Costume was created for a Covid Exhibition in 2021.
​
Titled 'Escape from the Crypt of Tears' it depicts her as a pinned 'Social Butterfly' with a tear running down one cheek. The Movie had been due to be released the week of the Victorian lockdown and was postphoned until later in the year after the longest lockdown on the planet.
​
I studied the patterns of the Green Birdwing Butterfly in my collection and worked in Pastel to capture the shimmering effect which worked well with her golden body suit giving it the Australian Green & Gold
