Artist’s Statement
Working primarily in pastels I enjoy creating realistic works that challenge me to create different textures on paper.
Biography
I enjoyed drawing whilst growing up but my first real opportunity came when a tutor from the flying arts ran a pastel workshop in Baralaba.
In the 15 years since then I have attended many workshops with professional artists, exhibited in joint exhibitions, completed commissions and sold works.Influences
Master pastellists ; Maxine Thompson, Tricia Reust & Louise Corke
