Art has always been central to my life. As a child I pencilled, and later pen-and-inked and pen-and-washed my way through many pads of cartridge paper which were always available in a house of two other artists. For many years, prominent Adelaide artist Ruth Tuck tutored me and in recent years in Melbourne, I have worked in portraiture and oils with Lee Machelak at the Victorian Artists Society. I currently paint portraits of live models weekly with the ‘Friday Group’ at The Victorian Artists Society. Some have been award winning works.
I have won a number of prizes over the years, using various media, including winning the Victorian section of an Australia-wide ceramic table-top painting competition. Two examples of these tables can be seen in ‘Paintings’.
You can read updates on prize winning works in the ‘News’ section.
I have also been published in educational publications and have illustrated two recipe books. In 2016 I did 22 illustrations for a book of verse, soon to be published. My black and white pen sketches depicting prominent buildings in both Kensington and Buninyong have been reproduced onto cards, and have been immensely popular.
Other works, much of it commissioned, are in private collections overseas and in Australia, including the Department of the Arts in Canberra. I have held a number of successful solo exhibitions and been included in galleries in Melbourne, Port Fairy and Ballarat.
I have entered ‘The Archibald Prize’ portrait competition three times. Twice my subject was Kerry Greenwood, author of the Phryne Fisher books, seen in The ABC television series ‘Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries’. I also entered with a portrait of Gai Waterhouse, winner of The Melbourne Cup 2013.
I can be commissioned to paint portraits. Please contact me to discuss your requirements.
I have spoken to U3A groups on the topic of The Archibald Prize. I was also privileged to speak to the Watercolour Society at the Victorian Artist’s Society, also on the topic of The Archibald Prize.
I am now an invited member of the Melbourne Society of Women Painters and Sculptors (MSWPS) and also serve on the Council of The Victorian Artists Society.
Please contact me if you would like to purchase one of my works or commission a piece for yourself or for a gift. You are also very welcome to make an appointment to visit me in my studio in Kensington, Melbourne.
