blogging about my lifestyle as an artist living in country Tasmania
the full story
Coming to art late in life I am passionate about exploring a sense of place and being.
​
I began with calligraphy for many years attending the West Australian University of Advanced Education and learning via the Digby Stuart College in London (by correspondence). During this time i was introduced to Life Drawing and Art History.
​
Mostly self-taught I was very fortunate in the early days to be a part of the Snakepit Arts co-op in Launceston, Tasmania during the 90s. The one-on-one workshops and support from some of Tasmania's top artists remains with me ever since.
From that time onwards, I find, very occasionally, a workshop or two that suits my thinking and ways of working.
The other milestone in my life was 10 months of travelling to Hobart, from the north, once a fortnight to attend a Creative Research Program for Contemporary Arts with Dr Ruth Hadlow.
During the last 5 years, I work every day out of my studio with the thought in mind
'get miles on the canvas'. Just do, do , do ....
and i do.
