Artist

" I tasted the student life while studying visual arts at Southern Cross University majoring in painting and drawing. I have had the pleasure of participating in many group exhibitions in Byron Bay, Mullumbimby and in Glasgow, Scotland. I celebrated my art making with a solo exhibition in Byron Bay in 1999 which was challenging, wonderful and amazing. I was honoured to have my artwork published in the Woman’s Artist Diary in 2000.

I became a mother 4 years ago, which was the beginning of the most wonderful creative project of my life and unlocked parts of myself I have been enjoying since. Painting while mothering at first was quite a challenge, I began painting again when my daughter turned one, working in acrylic and showing at cafes and restaurants. I had bursts of activity and then needed to gather myself again. After the birth of my second child I had 12 months of focused mothering until I was gathered in the way needed to illustrate My Brother Jimi Jazz. "
