Art has always been part of my life. I have been involved in establishing a gallery in Penola (Local Images), Largs Bay (Pier Gallery) and a student and community initiative centre at Christies Beach (Shop Front).

 

I have been an art teacher since 1975 and am currently at Pasadena High School. I love providing a creative environment that is conducive to producing art for both young people and adults.

 

In my art I love to explore colour, line and shape in a free and abstract way. I have lots of ideas and themes and enjoy using rich colors and mixed media. Nature continues to be my biggest inspiration. Exploring and experimenting with my art works provides me with wonderful new experiences, keeping my passion alive. I also enjoy working from my intuition.

 

Over the years I have begun working with my inner guidance. I have developed my mandala images from this more spiritual source and found the process quite meditative and centering. The mandalas connect with people on an emotional and spiritual level with individuals finding their own personal meaning within the image.

 

I have been involved in many group exhibitions in a variety of country and city galleries. These include Naracoorte Art Gallery, Local Images at Penola, Sir Robert Helpman at Mt Gambier, Bull Ring at the Jam Factory, Pier Gallery at Largs Bay, Nexus Gallery in Adelaide, Prospect Gallery at Nailsworth, Hughes Gallery at Fullarton, Education Development Centre at Hindmarsh, Pi Pi’s at Port Noarlunga, Port Adelaide Community Arts Centre, Port Dock Hotel, Snooze at Mile End, Geoffrey Stapleton Gallery and Wassail at Prospect and currently often exhibit at Mrs Harris’ Shop and shop fronts on King William Road and Goodwood Road during SALA.
