Artist’s Statement
Primarily a painter, artworks using hot wax and mixed media has been on my radar for sometime, perhaps 10 years or more. After travelling to Northern Europe and Iceland in 2023 I began in earnest to investigate the processes for an exhibition in November 2024 at Cooroy Butter Factory to be titled The Space in Between. The works exhibited here at Downlands are a beginning to an exciting new way of working as an adjunct to my painting process.
Biography
My background as a Registered Nurse sustained my art career for many years as I completed a Bachelor of Creative Arts at USQ in Toowoomba in 1995 and explored my dream role as an artist. Life became hectic when I exhibited in over 40 solo exhibitions in Australia, USA, China, Japan, Hong Kong and New Zealand. Along with exhibiting in many mixed exhibitions, I wrote, illustrated and published four sought after books on creative processes. With my work now in private and business collections, and several major regional galleries around Australia, I am content to learn new processes and exhibit in my purpose built gallery at Ningi, and with Feather and Lawry Gallery in Toowoomba.
Influences
Working in my studio at Ningi brings me closer to my childhood home. Exploration remains a huge part of my art process. As I travel and gain inspiration from the land I find emotional freedom and energy working from nature. Over the years I have been influenced by many artists including Chinese/ French artist Zao Wou-Ki . This has increased my interest in producing art that has a spiritual reflective aspect and leans towards a more abstract interpretation of the landscape.
Awards
Over a long career there have had many highly commended awards, and some first prizes - 2004 the Stockland Art Award, 2007 the AMRO MORGAN Flying Arts Regional Award, and in 2008 and 2015 the Ipswich Art Awards. Having been the recipient of three significant RADF Grants and an artist in resident program with Flying Arts in 2015, there has also been inclusion in several art publications, and requests to judge art awards, twice with the Matthew Flinders Art Award.
Exhibitions
The many exhibitions in commercial and regional galleries, both in Australia and overseas, are detailed in CV's on my websites. I have had many exciting adventures in the pursuit of an art career including being involved with Austrade in exhibitions in Santa Fe, Los Angles and Shanghai and giving workshops and exhibiting in New Zealand and Japan. My art has been exhibited in solo travelling exhibitions in Queensland, NSW and South Australia Regional Galleries.
