I love colour, the contrast of light & shadows, the glow of light at different times of day and different seasons, the textures, shapes and diversity of our natural world.

I am interested in how being in nature effects our mental wellbeing,  even paintings of nature on our walls can be calming. 

Teaching people to see the colour and diversity excites me and is an important part of  teaching during my oil & acrylic painting classes from my garden studio in the beautiful Clarendon in the Adelaide Hills .
