I am a local artist who has grown up in Parua Bay, attending the local school and growing my passion for art through primary and secondary schools. I found myself sketching miniature portraits of individuals around me while listening to a church sermon, and reveled in capturing the smallest details. During high school I completed several commissions. Experimenting with oil paints and finding it to be a favorite medium to work with. I challenged myself and continued to surprise myself as I grew as an artist. |
I was inspired by the work of local artists Trisha Fisk and Natalie Tate. Visiting their studios and viewing their masterpieces kept my passion for art going and showed me just what goes into the making of amazing art.
My husband and I built and live in a container home nestled in the bush, surrounded by birdsong and native trees.
I am constantly finding inspiration in the beauty of the area we live in.
I work in realism, using oils and sketches, sometimes water colours. I have always had a passion for animals and therefore find them featured in much of my work. Birds are my favorite thing to capture in my art. Finding their delicate features on a page is a glorious thing.
Recently I have found another way to express my creative side. After making my sister's wedding cake I found that cakes can be a beautiful expression of art and passion. I find baking and cake decorating to be a medium in which I can continue to challenge myself and stretch my abilities.
