ABOUT THE ARTWORK
In the 1980s I lived for many years in the suburb of Bondi, in Sydney. It holds many special memories for me of the beach, the markets , doing yoga at Bondi Pavilion, and spending many hours with friends in Bondi cafes. The architecture of Bondi has fascinated me. It largely consists of streets of red brick apartments, interspersed with free standing homes and new blocks of apartments. The morning walks on the beach took on a familiar pattern. First wave were the business people, striding along giving orders to employees. Then there were the old Hungarians walking along in large groups, all wearing track suits. After that the Yoga people and other workers, followed by either the unemployed or those leaving the cafes after breakfast. There was a constant changeover of residents, so many of us outfitted our flats from roadside furniture and milk crates. The windows of our flats were constantly covered in sticky salt water spray. However, it was the bathrooms that really got me in. They were mostly green or yellow in colour. The basin and bath were very solid, and the shower was often over the bath. Above the sink was a small window which opened out, and was held there by a latch. Because of Sydney’s humidity mould was often a problem, as were cockroaches. It was a special time in my life.

AUSTRALIAN ARTIST I am an Australian artist working in Adelaide, South Australia. I paint mostly in oil, but occasionally use acrylic paints. Landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, flower paintings and abstract paintings are included in my repertoire of work. INSPIRATION FOR MY ART As an Australian artist, my inspiration comes from whatever is around me at a particular time. As an example, following a recent trip to the mid north of South Australia, I produced a series of landscape paintings, which include the beautiful Eucalyptus trees and flowers from local gardens. HISTORY My original study was textile design and Adelaide's School of Art and Craft. I then worked for 20 years in various forms of art and fashion. But, in 1997 I followed my other passion, natural health. Since arriving back in Adelaide from Sydney in 1999 I have worked full time as a Naturopath. However, in recent years I have devoted much more time to my painting. Moving full circle, as a practicing Australian artist. This includes participating in exhibitions. Also fulfilling my love of learning by continuing to study and improve my art practice, wherever and whenever I can. Over this period I have attended many and varied art courses and workshops in this time including Peter Bok at Bapea Art School, Liana Vargas Cat Leonard, and Krystina at Splashout Studio, Chelsea Lehman, Trena Everuss and Nona Burden at Adelaide Central School, John Lacey, Ruby Chew, Sophie Hann, Gerhard Ritter, and Deborah Trusson. WHERE ELSE TO FIND ME I regularly post to Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
