"My longing to paint started when I went around Australia in 1979.

Our Sunrises – Sunsets – Water – Reflections – Hills – Trees – Storms – The Human Form – are all breathtaking. I used to stare and now I “see” why I’m staring – colour – shadows – light – direction – I can feel it registering in my min; it’s learning by simply looking.

I wanted so badly to paint, I painted Anywhere, Anytime, Any Medium. I joined Mackay Art Society, entered competitions, won some prizes - that was fun! Then I started teaching and running the Art Societies’ Workshops.

I have been given the chance to teach you at Hamilton Island. I hope to pass on the pleasure and excitement I feel when I finish a painting.”
