(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.
Where there is light there is colour but how much colour depends on the time of day and also the season .....
finding the shapes that are formed by the light is what 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. There were a lot of photographs but only one original piece of art. I still remember very clearly my thoughts as I would study it ..... nothing else in the house measure up to that original.
Next exhibition!! The Repertory Theatre Gallery (94 Margaret Street Toowoomba) with daughter Anna. We accepted an SOS call and decided to simply call our exhibition "December" because it is the last play for the year at Rep and the last exhibition for both of us for 2024. Our paintings will be hung for the theatre patrons on Tuesday 26th Nov till Tuesday 10th December. The main four days for the exhibition are 7th, 8th, 9th & 10th December. Both of us will be there from 11am til 3pm these 4 days.
Please get in touch if you would like to view earlier with my contact form on this website so we can work out a time.
June 2024 was my most recent exhibition .... THE DNA EXHIBITION shared with my daughter Anna for the month of June in Toowoomba. It was so good to do! (the last time we exhibited together was our 'Family Ties' exhibition July '23).
Both The DNA &'Family Ties exhibitions bought a smile to our face 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!!

Since 2016 I have held a solo exhibition yearly at the Toowoomba Repertory Theatre gallery in Margaret Street. (The Covid year was an exception.) I also have work in shared and group shows in Toowoomba whenever possible.
I was happy to have my painting 'WONDERMENT' accepted and included in The Carnival Queens Exhibition last September and October at the Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery (Ruthven Street)
It was great to receive the Best Artwork prize (The Anne and Fred Gardiner Award) at the Toowoomba Art Society's Spring Members' exhibition last September. My painting 'Jacaranda on Railway Street' showed the historic Toowoomba Railway Station through the branches of a beautiful jacaranda tree which has been there for many many years.
