Background
Although bubbling in my mind, I haven’t always been a painter or artist. But the arts has always been connected to my life’s journey. I studied music from an early age, but throughout high school excelled at visual arts as there wasn’t school music classes and didn’t think I could be a professional artist.
So I studied percussion at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music, which lead to a fabulous professional music career, performing with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra for 12 years.
After a life changing trip to Africa, in my late 20s my over-active and curious mind discovered web design and technology and so began my next chapter. I studied an MBA and Digital technologies and started a digital agency, which 20 years later I still own and run as a successful entrepreneur.
I always dabbled in painting in the 30s and 40s but struggled with finding space in our small cottage and time… life, running a business and sailing on weekends will do that. But now I am fully committed to regularly producing works that resonate with my creative drive and community.
I am looking forward to the next chapter that my creative practice will bring.
