Qualifying as a graphic artist lead me to work opportunities from conceptual advertising both in New Zealand and overseas.

Interior design however became a passion and career for 30 years. Art and interiors work together in innate format as visualising colours and proportions constantly intersperse.

Sketching people in particular, and painting vibrant, often foreign figures on overseas excursions has always been part of my life. “Draw Your Travels”.In a relaxed , far flung destination my art supplies are always within reach. Different cultures have always lured my creative energy.

Now I still undertake occasional interior projects with my own personal flavour being French Provincial, inspired by the shabby chic richness proffered by the colours and textures of Southern France ; and where the likes of Van Gogh and Cezanne resided.

Currently I am interested in pursuing life drawing from my cottage studio.
