Showed a talent for drawing at an early age; encouraged by her parents to paint and draw. After a stint at Art School, went into advertising, illustrating for newspapers and magazines. The discipline of commercial work proved to be excellent training in observation, and has aided her work as an artist.  For the past 20 years, has been experimenting and coping with the failures that always come with painting .  From this experimentation has developed various ways of painting which has led to 80 first prizes and numerous commendations for her work. Won the 1991–92 Camberwell Coles 5000 Award and the Joshua Smith Award for Best Painting in show, 1996. Has illustrated three books, I Once Met a Man, R.M.Williams; Harp in the South and Poor Man’s Orange, Ruth Park. Member of the Australian Watercolour Institute since 1991; Fellow of the Royal Art Society of NSW and an exhibiting member of Ryde, Drummoyne and Parramatta Art Societies.
