Artist’s Statement

I grew up in Brisbane in a family where education was valued as a life-long pursuit. I completed my teaching qualifications and went on to achieve a Masters in Educational Leadership. I was in Senior Leadership in various Secondary Colleges in South East Queensland for over 20 years.
I have always had a keen interest in textiles and art and am an award-winning cross stitcher and quilter. I began a Bachelor of Creative Arts at the University of Southern Queensland in 2021 and major in Printmaking and Ceramics.
I am hopeful that through my artwork, my belief in the value of truth and beauty is experienced by others. Living on acreage, with an ever-changing natural environment, provides me with inspiration for my creative pursuits. My Business Name – Fig Tree Hill Creations – pays homage to a venerable old fig tree on our property.
