My passion for watercolour painting began early, from the moment a paintbrush was first held. The medium, however, has remained both challenging and unpredictable, making the journey one of persistence, patience and continual learning. As a largely self-taught artist, further knowledge was developed through a Visual Arts Certificate focused on traditional painting techniques in watercolours and oil painting, along with two Graphic Design certificates at Central Queensland University. 

Working with traditional watercolours, I create paintings that explore a range of themes and subjects. I use Winsor & Newton artist watercolours and artist cold-press, acid free 190gsm and 300gsm cotton papers. I find inspiration in everyday life, human connection and coastal environments.

For decades, a strong focus has been placed on figurative work, developed through studies of human anatomy and life drawing. The work of Austrian artist Gustav Klimt, particularly The Kiss, has been a lasting influence, further enriched by travelling through Austria to visit art galleries and museums in Vienna and Salzburg. 

Featuring on my YouTube channel mini watercolour meditations and my own Pinterest account where I share ideas for artworks for the home and office. Recently, my focus has shifted toward digital exhibitions presenting my latest series, supported by a catalogue.
