My inspiration for this painting ‘Olives, Zizyphus and Oranges’ is my love of growing, foraging and preserving food. As a child in a family of 8 children I have wonderful memories of jam and sauce making. We children helped with the cutting up of tomatoes, apricots and plums. The particular fruit would be placed in a very large pot, with either sugar, spices or salt added and left to steep overnight. The sweet smell of jam cooking invokes in me a sense of the security of childhood. I have inherited this love of preserving food. However, due to the influence of time and other cultures, my methods and choice of preserving method can vary. The painting depicts olives that I have foraged and pickled, and home grown oranges that have been dried, as well as lemons. The small fruit in front is Zizyphus jujube. It is used in tincture form for anxiety and insomnia, and in fruit form as a laxative.

Australia
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.
