About The Artist

I am based in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia and have been a practising artist and teacher for 55 years. Coloured pencil is my preferred medium. I have won numerous awards, often in open company. In  2014, I was awarded Master Pencil Artist Status by the Canadian Pencil Society, and the Australasian Coloured Pencil Society in 2017.  My work is inspired by the Australian landscape. Mark making, weathering, climate change, decay, pattern and shape are of particular interest to me. 

My artwork is eclectic, ranging from realism to abstraction.
