I am a self taught artist starting in pencil and charcoal and moving on to be proficient in soft pastel, oil paints and colour pencil. I have also attended numerous workshops especially with Robyn Kittelty Redman where I learned of colour mixing, composition and other techniques.
I hold a major in drawing and ceramics but have extended that to include painting, mosaic, papermaking, bookbinding and 3D garden art. Over the years I have had solo and joint exhibits of work from most of my disciplines. I have enjoyed teaching art and have worked as an 'artist in residence' in prisons, schools and the general community.
