ARTIST BIO

I have been working in watercolour and pastel for 25 years. I worked with a group called the Nell Street Painters. The group held several exhibitions at the Box Hill Community Centre, which is where I sold my first paintings. Over the years the group held 3 exhibitions at  the Victorian Artists Society in Albert Street, Melbourne  which was very successful for myself selling serveral pieces of my work. We also published a book called "Let  me paint you a Story" which was in calaboration with the Warrandye Writers Group, which is in the Canberra and Eltham library.  I have work in private collections in Hong Kong, Germany and also at the Arjo Wiggins Paper Group, Head Office in Strasbourg, France.  I have held a solo exhibition here in Yamba where I now live which was very successful, I also organised 2 exhibitions for local artists under the banner of the Lions Club of Yamba which was well received and successful.
