I am a mixed media artist, illustrator, a maker of art-dolls and for the past three years, I have exhibited regularly in galleries and taught adult and afterschool art classes in Hobart. I have been a full-time career artist since 2006, building up a following with my mixed-media landscapes and art-dolls which have sold worldwide. I grew up in a creative household where paints, pencils and sketchbooks were always on hand and our old singer sewing machine was always at the ready for turning worn pillowcases into stuffed toys and dolls clothes. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree completed at City Art Institute, (UNSW Art and Design), and a Diploma in graphic design at Hobart TAFE. My work could best be described as figurative landscape, using a variety of mixed mediums to create contrast between textures and pattern.
