WHY I STARTED PAINTING Dancing asparagus I hear you say, mmm…well moi have always been a little bit crazy and that probably is and asset when you are an artist! Lol Anyway this painting was the first one that I actually painted, on canvas that is. MURAL ON THE NURSERY WALL You see I was […]

CERAMIC AND MOSAIC SCULPTURE This artwork is the first Adam and Steve (ceramic and mosaic 100cm x 150cm ) that I did and it was inspired by my cousin and his partner.  I have since made another Adam and Steve wall based sculpture and there was a funny incident at the art gallery where that […]

HAPPINESS THROUGH ART Well that is easier said than done sometimes isn’t it?  For me it is something that I understood with time and to make oneself happy may not always be through art necessarily but I do think it comes from making a decision and getting absorb and involved in something other than our […]

ART & THE MOON BEARS I first started this painting “Save the Moon bears” about a year ago because a dear friend, Joanna Polities was actively involved in the charity Animals Asia. She has been the South Australian voice for these bears and raised a lot of money for them through various functions and fundraisers […]
