Where Bush Meets Sea

5 Feb 2025 – 28 Feb 2025

I have a Masters in Art and Design and extensive research in colour, creates works depicting the Otway region along Victoria’s Great Ocean Road. Living part-time near Cathedral Rock for over 60 years, I capture the rhythm and spirit of the landscape through abstraction and reduction. My bold, colour-rich compositions emphases the interplay of shape, tone, and texture, seeking harmony rather than direct representation.

Artist Statement

My process is intuitive—working with a limited palette of yellows, purples, and blues,  allows light and emotion to guide my compositions. Influenced by artists like Gauguin, Matisse, and Emily Kngwarreye, I explore perception, memory, and the profound connection between self and place. My paintings attempt to evoke both intimacy and vastness, balancing structure and spontaneity.

As art historian Rosemary Crumlin notes, “Her paintings are the engagement between artist and landscape—they evoke singing and dancing.” Through my work, I expresse the privilege of being alive, inviting spirit and mystery to dwell within each piece.

This retrospective offers a rare opportunity to experience my creative evolution over time, showcasing her significant works and artistic journey. A must-see for both art enthusiasts and collectors.
