PEARL BEACH AND SURROUNDS
This is my home ground!! The place of much happiness and beauty. Just lately I have been using a palette knife for most of my work and loving the difference, the challenge of the new!

The experience of a Kimberley cruise from Darwin to Broome is on the bucket list of many retirees and so it was on mine. It was magical and exciting, day after day. My new works are inspired by the Kimberley’s colour of the water and the towering and tumbling rocks, the reflections in that lucid water, the waterfalls, the excitement of being under them, the birds and the crocodiles. It is indeed a vast archaelogical paradise, an unspoilt wilderness, where we left nothing but our footprints, to be washed way by the huge tides. Adventurers and grey nomads have always loved the colourful outback of the Kimberley as well, all the gorgeous gorges along the Gibb River Road, the Bungles, the Ord River and Lake Argyle are some of the favourites. As a couple John and I traversed all these places, weeks at a time, setting up our tent and then John riding his bike whilst I stood before my easel painting ‘en plein air’. Back home I painted larger works in acrylics and oils and now in Encaustic as well. Even now I create new works from my photos of those trips.

NEW EXHIBITION – FOR LOVE OF TREES
ART EXHIBITION IN THE ROYAL BOTANIC GARDEN, SYDNEY

13 – 27 February 2025. FREE ENTRY 10 – 4 daily.

When we speak of trees, I wear my heart on my sleeve. Then I paint them ….to share with you what I see. It is not only their amazing colours and textures, those of trunk and leaves in their season, it is the realisation that so much of heir bounty is shared with us.
An ever changing exhibition of tree paintings completed plein air on site in bush land and bays – mostly around the Central Coast, but also inland Australia. I am passionate about trees and the various roles they play in our lives and in their own habitat.
