Since that time when I snatched brief periods of creative output between long stretches of caring for my small children I have noticed a distinct correlation between creative output and well being, both in myself and in those I have worked with. Originally trained as a primary teacher I taught in schools in NSW and QLD before embarking on the journey of parenthood. I undertook studies in Fine Art
and further studies in Education in the 1990’s completing a Diploma of Art, Bachelor of Education, Bachelor of Fine Art and Graduate Diploma of Expressive & Creative Therapies in Brisbane over the following 18 years, during which time I also facilitated creative art workshops for children and adults. I have exhibited work in Brisbane galleries, Inverell and in numerous competitions over the years. My work is held in private collections in QLD and NSW. I moved to Inverell in 2009 where I continue to paint and facilitate creative art experiences for people of all ages.
