I live and work on the Gold Coast. I come from an artistic background, My mother was also an artist. I attended Ilam art university in Christchurch, New Zealand and went on to teach art in schools.

I have covered numerous fields in art, from pottery, sculpture, oil painting, drawing and acrylics. For many years I contributed to art shows, and group exhibitions and owned and operated my own gallery in the Arts Centre in Christchurch where work was distributed to private collections all over the world. After moving to Australia and settling in the Gold Coast hinterland, I have taught art to adults and went on to full time painting, exploring diverse genres and styles of art, each of which demonstrates different skilsl and distinctive quality.
