I’m absolutely thrilled to be part of a local collective of Artists, exhibiting and celebrating our work this Sunday 3rd September. If you are in the northern rivers area this weekend come on by for a  lovely afternoon of local Art, live music ( Soul Duo The Atoms), wine, beer and nibblies. All on us.…

A few days ago I worked with my beautiful model Djuana who loves to dress up. In this session she wore a blonde wig, tutu, beaded bra and gold high heels.Each time I complete a painting in my studio, it changes completely! I had fun playing with colour on canvas, using up my tubes of…

‘The Gold Shoes’ painted from life. Gouache on water colour paper
