BEHIND THE BRUSH 

 

Studied Interior Design at the East Sydney Technical College, now the National Art School. Practiced as an interior designer before moving into the field of cartography.

​

Moved to Canberra to continue my career in cartography, with a focus on the design of maps.  Awarded the Public Service Medal in 2002 Queen's Birthday Honours List for, ‘her contribution to major national mapping and atlas programs’.

​

Commenced painting full-time in 2008 after moving to a small acreage near Yass.

​

Paintings are mainly in oils, with some watercolours or pastels. 

​

Subjects are chosen from urban and rural landscapes as well as still life and an occasional portrait. Corporate Art is another facet of my work.

​

Works are sold mainly through regional art galleries.

 

Commissions are a speciality.
