Do you have a preferred medium?
My preferred mediums are watercolour, pen and ink, pastel and charcoal. I love drawing in all mediums.
How did you learn your craft?
I have always loved Art. Whilst living in Victoria I studied life drawing with Marjorie Fitz-Gerald Boyle for about 6 months. I then did life drawing at night for 2 years at Para West TAFE, where I worked mostly in Charcoal, and white conte on black paper. I also did a watercolour class there for 6 months.
How long have you been creating art?
All my life
Who or what is your inspiration?
My maternal grandfather was good at art and my mother said my talent came from him, she always encouraged me.
Is there something else you would like to mention about your art or artistic journey?
I was a member at Salisbury Art society for 2 years after retiring from work.
I now have a studio at home and work from there. Art is my passion and I always like a challenge.
