A look at what has been and possible for the future
My artwork has developed from drawing and painting into shape and form with the use of clay, straw and found objects. I want to achieve organic, tactile objects which have meaning and are pleasing to the eye. I like to create conversation with my quirky objects which I create with my mind and soul.
Coming from a background in the arts world, my artwork has developed over the years, to incorporate my intense experiences of life’s ups and downs.
My current direction of my art practice, is a journey into tactile and moving towards 3D with sculpture and ceramics.
My style incorporates organic forms using the innate properties of the medium used.
Often using the knowledge of the outback, creatures and landscape.
As a renowned artist with an interesting art history, I come from a place of renewal. With my vast experience, I have narrowed down ideas to an organic form which delights me.
My intention is to put a smile on your face too.

Charcoal Drawings
The deep and tonal characteristics of a charcoal is eye catching. Place in a black frame can make your room come alive

The soft effect that is achieved with pastel is unique and will have you spellbound with delight

Quick easy action stroke of the brush capture the feelings of my large subjects. All on canvas with slashes combined with texture makes for an appealing masterpiece.
A journey into my past artworks
Thundering Finish
this large acrylic painting was inspired by a day at Birdsville races. The splashes of acrylic paint and the texture was one to be held.
It was very quick to sell at my exhibition and many inquiries came for a repeat of this work.
Metal Petal Vase
The ceramic bars was made with a iron raku Clay. It was a handmade coil pot. The top pedal part was glazed with Matt finish. The bottom part is a carved in design of metal plates rendered together and glazed with a iron oxide finish.
Soccer day
I was putting together a pitch book of my nephew‘s soccer games. These were digitally created on Procreate on an iPad with an iPencil.
I love the depth. I can get into my pictures with the layers within the program Procreate.
Just another interesting art tool.
On the beach
My challenge was to use three oil pastel colours on brown paper as I was on the beach. The idea of minimal colours brings together more of a tight decor look. My inspiration was watching my nephew surfing.
