My background is farming and teaching… I ran an Educational Assessment Unit in UK for several years, before migrating here to develop and run the family farm business whilst rearing 3 children. I have always had to make my own way, and been quite entrepreneurial – but not, I hope, bossy… more facilitator and coordinator. I like to plan, to help organise, and to see things through.
Retiring from full-time work, I studied art at TAFE, then through Open University. I’m now focused on developing my career as a painter (watercolours and oils). I also volunteer: currently with ArtSouth, Phoenix Fine Arts, and CWA Albany Branch.
I have two reasons for supporting ArtSouth…
1/ Art Trail itself is a very worthwhile event, and now we have the new Easter Trail as well. Both provide much-needed support for our local artists.
2/ ArtSouth could potentially become an artistic unifying force… a powerful overarching body representing the needs of our diverse local artistic community.
