(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 but how much colour depends on the time of day and 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.
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 been holding a solo exhibition yearly at the Toowoomba Repertory Theatre gallery in Margaret Street. (The Covid year was an exception.) I also having work in shared and group shows in Toowoomba whenever possible.
I am very happy to have my painting 'WONDERMENT' accepted and to be included in The Carnival Queens Exhibition 2024 to be held in the Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery (Ruthven Street) ..... 17th August to 17th November. Hope a lot of you might be able to visit.
THIS SEPTEMBER I PLAN TO HAVE WORK EXHIBITED IN THE DOWNLANDS AND TOOWOOMBA ART SOCIETY during
September. Both these exhibitions add to the fun and colour of Toowoomba during this special month.
