ABOUT YOUR ART PRACTICE

• Painting

I attended several courses at Claremont Art School conducted by John Paul, Richard Gunning, Marcus Beilby, and Drewfus Gates. My mother, who was a landscape Artist, was an inspiration to me in her life long determination to master her medium and technique.

While revegetating a property in the south west (2007 till now) I developed a love of the land. In particular, I've been captivated by Banksias. They appeal not only in their sculptural form, but also in their disposition. They hung on a bush like members of a tribe, from young and luminous, to old, and ultimately craggy. They remain a focus in my paintings along with the landscape and other forms.

A celebration of colour and form relating to the landscape, it's movement, and the secret it holds.
Come with me and see where the colours take you.

Uploading your images

The process has changed a little this year;

Step 1 – Add 1 image that best represents your work for the printed Event Guide

Step 2 – Add an additional 9 artwork images and studio portraits for our marketing team

Step 3 – Add up to 10 images for your website listing – they can be the same or different to the images above

Step 4 – Add one main image for your website listing.

Each image must be 300dpi, between 2.5MB and 5MB, and formatted as a jpeg file.

Re-name all files to include your name, artwork title, year created, medium and size before uploading e.g., Jane Doe_Wild Seascapes_2018_Oil on canvas_10x10cm.

Please ensure the filenames contain only alphanumeric characters, underscores or hyphens. Special characters such as punctuation will cause the upload to fail.

Please add a photographer credit to the file name if required by the photographer.

(Note: we love to use smiling, welcoming studio portraits to promote MRROS on social media)

Studio Details

My studio is separate to our house.The studio space basks in northern light facing Geographe Bay and enjoys a quiet atmosphere with occasional music and radio(when I'm alone). There is alot of colour in the exhibition with the palette ready to go. Through our revegetation of 2 hectares around the studio there are many birds. We have an adjoining developing spiral/shell designed landscape next to the studio which people are welcome to explore.

I will be painting and discussing and demonstrating how my work began to where it is today.
