Artist StatementMy journey in art began at the tender age of 5 in England 1954. My dear father Phillipe would devote Sunday afternoons to "what would you like me to draw". These inspirational Sundays fed my desire to draw like my dad... he could draw anything animals, people, cars and everything in between.
Then I did go to art school - Medowbank Tech, Julian Ashtons and The Royal Art Society - all in Sydney. One of my favourite tutors was Frederic Bates
who inspired me to appreciate translucent watercolour. His wonderful
gift of sharing his knowledge and how he imparted this was my
greatest drive to share what I have learnt with others. This was followed by a career in commercial art for 30 years in advertising agencies, newspapers, as a freelance graphic artist, photographic retoucher and illustrator in Sydney. A sea change in country New South Wales led me to be more resourceful. I have been a tutor in art for 15 years to people aged 6 to 80 years; privately and for adult education, running many student exhibitions and exhibiting with them. Teaching and sharing art is a way for me to reach out and touch and encourage others to express themselves in this wonderful world called Art.
