ARTIST BIO

I only started painting in early 2023 as a way to relax and relieve stress.  I started out with fluid art as it required the least amount of  artistic "talent" and I could just let the paint do it's thing without feeling like I had failed to create what I had in mind.  Once these canvases were finished I decided that some of them needed something extra and started adding animals and birds to the backgrounds.  I was really pleased with the outcome and actually sold a couple of my paintings to work collegues at "mates rates". ie enough to cover the canvas and paint costs but not my time taken to paint it.  From there the compliments on my art kept coming and I was finally persuaded to enter some of my pieces into art competitions.  I am extremely proud and a little bit overwhelmed to have three of my paintings accepted for the Victor Harbor Art Show and hope that they are received well. Either way I will continue to love my time in my art studio (shed) and keep painting...although the walls are getting full!
