I was born in outback Queensland, and live in regional South East Queensland. My art is inspired by the many places I've lived in - from outback Queensland, the Gold Coast, Australia, to the many cultures experienced in my journeys overseas. My love of earth, colour, drama and attention to detail, was inherited mainly from my mother.who was born in outback Quilpie, Queensland, where rich opal gems are found. my passion for structure & design were inherited from my fathrr, a farmer and builder of small houses.
Contrasting jewel colours with earthy sub-tones, sometimes adding other media such as sand, earth, fabrics, and washes creates interesting effects.. Indigenous and mystical symbols combine with pictorials and design, to produce a unique narrative and background for each artwork.
“My paintings reflect stories of people’s journeys, lives, travels, history and environment. Creating a memory portrait, special event artwork, or beautiful interior works, producing a story to treasure, is my passion”.
I always paint with integrity and respect for my ancestors, indigenous Aboriginal elders and clients.
