ARTIST PROFILE:

"I was Born in 1970 in a wheatbelt town south east of Perth.

I finished secondary education at the local high before moving to Perth in 1987.

After meeting future husband Warren and completing a Certificate of Architectural Drafting
in1990, we moved to the Hamersley Ranges in the Pilbara, North West of Western Australia, 

some 1400kms from Perth,  to live and work on my husbands family’s  cattle station.

I began sketching in 1997, encouraged by the lifestyle and landscape, whilst living on ‘Wyloo”.

My inspiration comes solely from the remote lifestyle I have enjoyed, with isolation an ally to a fervent
and fertile imagination.

My childhood and childhood perceptions weave and infinite thread  through my canvas’s,
lending the works a sense of naivety and engaging the viewer on a personal level.
