An auto-didact I started painting in 2012 after a series of life changing events that turned my world upside down and every which way. Art exploded to the top, specifically watercolour. I cannot get enough of this medium, it is all encompassing, fascinating, enriching, constantly educating, organic, filled with life. It is perfect for working on my endangered animals and places of our world which are hugely important to me as a conservationist. We live on 24.5 acres of secondary growth woodland, on a hill overlooking the ocean, so have the best of all worlds. A mob of six (and growing) red-necked wallabies, koalas, goannas, phascogales and more share their home with us, where they are safe, and we are re-purposing the land back to food and habitat vegetation for these animals. I have constant resource right outside my window!
