Artist Bio

I studied at the Prahran Art School and the Victorian College of Arts in the early 1980’s and later returned to teach drawing and painting at the VCA until the early 90’s. I worked at the NGV in the late 90s and developed a series of children’s art class which continue today. I have taught drawing and painting in a variety of settings ever since – between working on my own Art, travelling, exhibiting and raising a family. I have lived in North East Victoria for more than 20 years and my drawings and paintings are inspired by its unique environment. In the last few years I have returned to drawing, using a combination of homemade, bushfire-made and manufactured charcoals and pastels.
