(Thank you very much for popping by)
A little about my paintings ....
I enjoy painting familiar subjects in an unfamiliar way with the majority of my paintings in an abstracted/ expressionistic style where I paint what I feel using shapes and colour, line and tone.
I always say, where there is light there is colour and how much colour depends on the time of day and the season .....
it is finding the shapes formed by light that I find fascinating.

I was born in Brisbane (1946) and moved to Toowoomba from Cairns with my husband and four children at the end of 1984.
I really can't remember a time when I didn't draw or paint.
My father was a professional photographer in Brisbane and I joined him in the studio on leaving school.
There is no doubt that original paintings add another dimension to 'living' in your space so just find the image you would love to live with ..... it really will add joy to your life for years to come.
My parents only had one original piece of art in our house when I was young (a still life by Vincent Brown) and I remember word for word my thoughts as I would study it ..... everything else in the house did not measure up. To me this is the difference between original art and something less.
June 2024 ..... Current Exhibition !! THE DNA EXHIBITION !! Held at Wendland Fine Foods Art Space for the month of June 2024, in Toowoomba (Cnr. Bridge and Mary Sts.) This exhibition is shared with my daughter Anna (the last time we exhibited together was our 'Family Ties' exhibition last July) and when we were offered this space for June we just couldn't resist ........ it is also a great way for the patrons to enjoy their morning coffee!! We would love you to pop in and have a look if you can.
'Family Ties' held in July 2023 with my daughter Anna was a great success with many interested friends and visitors popping in. There was a lot of talking about the paintings and art in general so a big thank-you to everyone!!
If you enjoy art and would like to be notified of my future exhibitions please join my mailing list below to be included in emails.
Since 2016 I have been holding a solo exhibition yearly at the Toowoomba Repertory Theatre gallery in Margaret Street. (The Covid year was an exception.) I also like having work in shared and group shows whenever possible.
