I am a watercolour artist working out of my garden studio near the town of Esk.

I am intrigued and in wonder of the natural world, with all its intricacies and surprises.  Like a child in a lolly shop, I want to try all the sweets! But for me it is moments of wonder found in nature that are my sweets: the iris about to divulge its amazing colours, the kookaburras huddled together fluffed up against the cold or the four pale headed rosellas flying overhead chattering as they pass. I have an urge to paint these scenes in response to the connections
I feel.
 

My painting style is quite impressionistic in the need to capture fleeting moments and not be too concerned with all the details. I want to create an impression of a scene. It is the suggestion of things, rather than a detailed representation, that allows a 'feeling' to happen in the painting.

Watercolour is the ideal medium for my loose, atmospheric style. The paints flow and mix together easily when water is added, creating texture and granulations. Dreamy effects result when you let watercolours "do their thing".
 

Other people have described my work as delicate, calming, ethereal and evocative. I love to
bring some of my wonder or joy to others through my art.
