Artist Profile
I have been a member of Off the Couch Art Studio for about 10 years.
Born at Orroroo, the middle of five children, I started drawing at an early age.
I attended Saturday morning classes at the South Australian School of Art (now part of the University of SA) for two years.
Some years after marrying and raising five children, I enrolled in an evening class at TAFE to learn watercolour painting. Mastering that 'to some degree' I then moved on to pastels. I joined the Pastel Artists of South Australia.
I also like to dabble in acrylics and coloured pencils.
My favourite activity is sketching (landscape and all types of still-life) in the outdoors, when my husband and I are on our camping trips. These sketches become a visual diary of our trips.
