Born into an artistic, creative family, my love of art has been instinctive.   My artistic inspiration has seen me create works across a broad spectrum of media.  I have written and have had published poems, short stories, children's' books and music.  I have exhibited paintings (oil, watercolour, acrylic), textiles and needlework, drawings and photographs.  I have created sculptures in clay, and as ephemeral art and as significant public works projects.  My studies at university and  TAFE have further developed my knowledge and experience.  Art is my life, it is a part of everything I do.
