I am an emerging artist. Joining Gallery 247 is my venture into the public sphere of art evaluation. I was a member of the Ringwood Artist Society. I study under tutor, Michael Goff. In a previous life I dedicated my time to education.
Painting in oil has now become my passion, striving to paint the natural landscape and people in my social world. I am concerned to paint the elusive atmosphere of the Australian natural world in a loosely painted style with attention to composition, colour, tone, form and light. This is an exhilarating journey.
I enjoy painting a range of genres. I really like painting portraits and enjoy the challenge of achieving a good likeness. All my family members have had their portraits painted.
I continue to challenge myself and to paint regularly. |
