Living on the beautiful Bellarine Peninsular 30 minutes around the bay from Geelong is a peaceful existence, filled with natural wonders. The birdlife is abundant, and the native flora is stunning and fills each season with wonder. My space incorporates the outdoors as well as the indoors. I gain my inspiration to make work from my daily walks in the environment. The environment informs my palette. One thing I have learned from creating over many years is that sometimes being challenged in a space can produce great work. Images of my space. Images from an Open Studio trail event.       Can't live without.... My equipment and materials which allow me to produce textured and complexly layered works. My press is a valued piece of equipment as well as my numerous gel presses. My storage is important to hold all my finished works and collage papers for future work.

Every time I enter the studio I feel embraced by its warmth, soft rendered walls, natural light, garden access and a slither of the view of Tasman Bay.      Can't live without...

Consisting of a design studio, a dye studio and a classroom studio, my studio is filled with inspiration—cobalt blue bottles, joyful reminders, and my children’s art. Studio security is provided by Zane, a 90-pound English Golden Retriever and a smart tabby cat who steals balls of pearl cotton.     Can't live without...
