ABOUT THE ARTWORK
My painting Finck Soup was inspired by the beautiful soup made by my mother. My mother passed away just over 2 years ago. When a loved one dies, memories of their day to day lives can become very strong, particularly in relation to cooking. My mother Marcella Jean Finck, had 8 children, so food was made in large batches. She made huge slabs of coffee cake, and very large pots of what we called Finck Soup. This wonderful soup consisted of grated root vegetables, celery, small noodles and beef. It had a wonderful, consistent flavour. This was 60’s Australia, so garlic would not have been used. Nor did she use cabbage. However, purple cabbage is wonderful to paint. I have included only the vegetables in this painting. With their beautiful shapes and wonderful colours as they are far more interesting to paint than noodles and meat. Finck Soup was served from the cooking pot, not from a white tureen.

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.
