The medium I prefer is pastels; I really like the instant effect I can achieve and the brilliant range of colours. My work focuses predominately on flowers, big cats and still life, but I am now trying my hand at a few horizons & sunsets.

I am an active member of the Nell Street Painters and the Plenty Valley Arts Society, who have encouraged me to participate in entering local Art Shows where I have achieved several awards and local sales of my work.

My art goals are to keep painting, and hoping that when you look at my paintings you will enjoy my efforts as much as I enjoyed painting them.

In 2010 I held my first Solo Exhibition in Kyneton.
