People’s Choice in Goulburn
Just wandering down Memory Lane when I came across this one. These two kookaburras often visit my garden. In 2023, the painting took out the People’s Choice award at the major exhibition in the Goulburn Workers Club. Apparently, it was streets ahead in the voting. I must admit that I was so very pleased with…

One of the fascinating things I see in the material I select for my art, is the variations of colour depending on time of day, how the light falls and what moisture is about. The gum trees in my garden are a constant source of delight. I photograph and sketch them regularly and every day…

Their speed and antics are entrancing and their colours are dynamic. They…
Read MorePortrait of an Australian Story Keeper
Australian gum trees fascinate me. The extraordinary colours ripple through the bark and change with the light. Every time I see this magnificent ancient, I am moved to wonder at the stories held within its heart. I will never tire of the times I spend in its shade, or of the wild things which wend…

“No Place Like Home” – painted in acrylic on matt board. We were very blessed some years back, to stay on Bedarra Island in Queensland. This is a private island and it is simply magical. I was relaxing in the garden and along came these incredible, busy, little flashes of loveliness. They had me transfixed. …
Read MoreThe Magic of Kingfishers
“Whispers” – painted in acrylic. I am thrilled with the framing by “Southern Framing” in Kirrawee. This artwork is off to its new home on the South Coast of NSW. I do love kingfishers. They are extraordinarily beautiful birds. I have spent many hours watching the many Australian varieties in their natural habitats. These ever…
