CREATIVE PRACTICE
Artist, Teacher, Drawing, Oil and Watercolour.
My themes are based on time, place & experience. I am environmentally inspired. My latest exhibition based on Water and Light was an escape from endless drought and fire. Painting for me is a problem solving, I have done it all my life, it is my safe place. Creativity is like capturing water in your hand, the more you try to contain it, the more it slips away. Creativity needs to be honest, don't pretend it is something that it is not.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Visual Arts has been a constant throughout my life. I commenced teaching Visual Arts in my early twenties, which hastened my own steep learning curve in gaining the necessary experience & qualifications. Creating art is about problem solving & that is the ongoing challenge.
