Biography
African born and thus richly inspired - Australian influenced and thus deeply connected. My work (inspired by our wild surrounds) has always encompassed the patterns, textures and colours of diverse and exciting experience. My studio practice includes a range of skills and experimentation from detailed and intimate rendering inspired from nature - through to large canvas pieces involving textural layering and exploration of surfaces but I can't escape the design background and the technical attributes gleaned over years of practice. They are forever referenced in my work. I am lucky enough to have always worked - with passion - in the arts and that's with a growing family and moving country a couple of times. I am a wife and a proud mum of two talented and beautiful children. Love to share my skills and am grateful for all the creative opportunities that have crossed my path.
