From a very early age my passion has been creating art and appreciating the work of other artists. Designing and developing a work of art, then seeing it come to life on paper or canvas brings me such joy.

Until recently my work was mainly in charcoal and watercolour. I attended some community programs that focused on techniques using watercolour but did not receive formal training.

I first started painting with professional acrylic paints in 2018 and appreciate how versatile they are to work with. I am learning more about this medium and improving my skills through the Ginger Cook Academy of Fine Arts.

The style of paintings I enjoy is varied but generally my preference leans towards realism. A subject with bright colours and light, as well as fine details and textures, will catch my eye every time. I love putting the first layer of paint on a blank canvas and watching as the landscape, family pet or still life begins to develop. It is both challenging and rewarding every time I pick up a brush and start to create what surely will be a masterpiece.
