I have always wanted to paint, but up until recently it went only as far as new coats of paint on the walls of my house. Finally, looking for some direction in my life, I decided to do something about it. But before I could think about painting I needed to find out if I could even draw. In March 2007 I completed the Right Brain Genius drawing course. That set me on my creative path. Then I gradually taught myself to paint...and loved it! You can see the progression of my work here on my little site. If you would like to see any of my works, I have some displayed at Sushi Express, upstairs at Orchid Plaza in Cairns. My continued thanks to Lyn for her support. As time progressed, I became so passionate about my art that in January 2008 I put an extension on my little house so I would have space dedicated as an art studio. In July 2008 I undertook my first painting lessons by taking part in Cairns Art Society's 5 day ARTescape, held at the Tanks Art Centre, with an amazing artist by the name of Greg Dwyer.

August 2009: I am currently living in smaller accomodation (where I do not have room to paint). Hopefully I will move back into a bigger place, with a brand new studio, in March 2010.......so stay tuned.
