About Me
.
I have been painting for several years, after having spent the bulk of my artistic life in the Ballet world! This has been a huge change but one that I am loving. My first love is painting with oils, and for the moment, landscape painting. I have had the good fortune to be taught by D'hange Yammanee - a master in teaching tones, atmospheric/tonal distance and composition. There is still much I have to learn from him.
In January 2014 unfortunately my husband and I lost our house in a huge bushfire in the hills in Perth - and along with it all my paintings and art equipment! For several years after this I was "regrouping" and quite frankly, rebuilding! Now I have a lovely large upstairs studio and have gathered together almost all that I previously lost. Also my style is developing further along impressionistic lines and I am enjoying painting more than ever.
I enter my art regularly in local exhibitions and have sold many through these outlets. Also I have undertaken quite a few commissions - both large and small. I am also a member of the Mundaring Hills Open Studios group of artists who exhibit annually in October, in each artist's studio over two weekends. 2019 marks the 10th Anniversary of the Open Studios scheme in Mundaring. It is a wonderful group to be involved with.
I have much still to learn - in fact the only question is; are there enough years left to take on board and understand what I need to, in my painting journey?
