ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This painting ‘Melbourne – The Inner City’ was inspired by one of my favourite activities when visiting Melbourne, walking the inner city suburbs of Collingwood, Richmond and Fitzroy. The city of Melbourne was laid out in 1837 and included a radius of 10 km from the CBD. I did not include any public piazzas or parks, reputedly to avoid any facilitation of protests or public loitering. The huge surge in immigration brought about by the Gold Rush in the 1850s quickly outgrew the 10 km grid. The city spread to wealthy new suburbs, while the working classes settled in the inner suburbs of Richmond, Collingwood and Fitzroy. By the 1880’s these inner suburbs had become slums. After World War II, there was increased migration from Europe, including from Italy, Greece, The Netherlands, and Germany. Many of whom took up residence in the inner suburbs. Later, in the migrants came from Yugoslavia, Turkey, Hungary and Lebanon. In the 1960’s some of the old inner-city slums were bulldozed and the dislocated tenants were housed in high-rise blocks of state-owned apartments. As manufacturing moved to the outer suburbs, industrial employment in the old working class inner suburbs declined, with these areas rapidly gentrifying in the 1990s and 2000s. Although largely gentrified, there are still areas showing the history of these wonderful inner city suburbs of Melbourne.

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.
