istI was born in Daylesford Victoria. My interest in art began at school, followed by a teachers certificate in Ikebana and Diploma in Interior Design aquired while living in Noosa. But Lightning Ridge is where I have been fortunate to be taught Classical Fine Art by a teacher from Paris and found my appreciation of colour, and play of light in the Outback.
