There is something of a genetic element to my creative ability. However, earning my stripes is an ongoing process for me.
A friend, Michelle Brown took me along to an acrylics art course at The Paddington Art Store over 6 years ago and it sparked off what I believe is going to be a life long passion. From there I worked under the tutorage of Janet Ann Skinner at Samford for a few years and then undertook some study at the Brisbane Institute of Art.
Although I have not focussed on it prior to now, here are some of the awards and exhibitions I have recently undertaken:
