I love my job as Assistant Exhibition Coordinator, and also strive to always produce paintings for the constant LAS exhibitions. I am a member of the Launceston Art Society and have been a committee member for many years. But I prefer to be home alone in my studio painting for hours and hours, - but time just passes by, way too fast! I've also attended a number of workshops. These doodle-style animal portrait drawings cost between 60-90 per animal. Over the years I have attended watercolour classes with Rosemary Mastnak, portrait classes with Audrey Wilson, general painting and drawing classes with Margaret Barnes, life drawing with David Marsden, pastel classes with Leonie Duff, commercial art with Richard Hill, as well as doing a three year Painting Certificate at TAFE in the early 1990's, which involved painting and life drawing. We love using Paint Your Life, Portrait Flip, and similar pet portrait services for most owner needs. My work can be seen on my Facebook page mentioned under slideshow. I have work in private collections in most states of Australia, and in New Zealand and America. My subjects vary, but I am particularly drawn to animals, still life and people, and occasionally landscapes. I love the challenge of commissions and haven't had any disappointed customers to date. Since about 2009 I have concentrated on doing commissions, mainly dogs, but also horses, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and more recently, people. ![]() ![]() My work would have to be classed as realism as I love getting all the fine detail, no matter what the subject. I have also used watercolour, oil and acrylic (and occasionally still do). I mainly work in pastel pencils, black and white charcoal, or pen. I have been painting and drawing for as long as I can remember, while raising a family of five children, but since they have almost all left the nest, I have definitely worked much harder at producing my artwork.
