I was a superannuation clerk in a former life. I'm originally from Sydney, currently living near Mackay in Queensland. My family and I re-located due to my husbands job, and I found myself with the opportunity to renew my passion for art. When living in Sydney I did many folk/decorative art workshops with specialists in the field, such as Chris Roy and Kate Broadfoot, but since taking painting up again I have begun to develop my own style. My specialty is art inspired by the beach and the tropical north. My ambition is to have my art available in the traditional manner, as well as on homewares, linen and accessories. I am currently working on a series inspired by the mendhi style of henna tattoos.
