I reside on Bilgola Plateau on the Northern Beaches, where I have lived for over 50 years. I was born and spent most of my childhood in North Western NSW. Later I lived in Rushcutters Bay, Hong Kong and Rose Bay.
I first studied Art at East Sydney Technical College but did not finish my course due to marrying and going overseas to live in Hong Kong.
On my return to Australia I did not paint for some years due to bringing up my two children, my interest in acting and the stage, and later working.
Later I studied with Arthur Murch, Betty Morgan (portraits), Peter Abraham and at present I am a pupil of well-known artist, Johanna Geluk.
I am a member of the North Shore Art Society, Artists and Craftsmen of Pittwater and Pittwater Community Arts. and was a member of the Warringah Arts and Crafts Society before it folded.
I have won several prizes for painting and some of my paintings are hanging in the USA and Amsterdam.
I prefer painting in oil but also do water colour, acrylic and pastel.
My interests apart from painting are golf, teaching computer to Seniors, library volunteering, gardening and reading.
