I have been exhibiting my art for over 25 years. After completing a Master of Creative Arts at the University of Wollongong in 2004, I have been developing my practice full time.

I have designed and made sets for plays such as “Kabbarli” and “Political Fiction” and many school productions at Port Hacking High, Miranda. I am an exhibiting member of IAVA. Recently I coordinated and participated in a mural project for Caritas Australia’s headquarters in Alexandria. I have had various solo exhibitions including “Ancient Landscapes” at The Hanging Space Gallery in Woonona in January 2014 “Joy and Whispers” at Beach Art Bulli in September 2014 and many at Camden Fine Art Gallery. Recently I have shown work at 55 Parrots Bulli and been a finalist in the Blacktown Art Prize.
My practice has evolved from a Diploma of Art Education, Alexander Mackie CAE and twenty five years experience teaching art and design. Currently I have taught private workshops and students based on abstraction and am also involved in the community arts groups IAVA, and Project Contemporary Artspace.
I continue to develop my mixed media, abstracted works, and exhibit in shows regularly.
