About:
Pastel Artist
I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember, however, marriage and children took priority for some 20 years. I resumed my artistic interests when my children became more independent.
I am self taught and have attended classes with a variety of artists, learning pastels, oils and watercolours. Pastel became my preferred medium, enjoying the vibrancy of the pigment.
I am a foundation member of the pastel artists of South Australia (PASA). I enjoy the experience of pleinair paintings and endeavor to be out their painting at least weekly. I was the initiator of the Off the Slate Gallery and have played an active roll in the running of the gallery.
