My artistic talent is inherited, with singing, composing music, playing musical instruments and painting in both my fathers and mothers side of the family. A natural ability to draw started to show during my primary school years and by the time I was at secondary school some of my fellow students and my teachers were requesting me to do drawings and paintings for them.
The only formal art training I have completed is V.O.P (Vocational Orientation Period), year 11 during 1979 at Frankston Technical School (now TAFE). I have learnt through my own experience, calling myself a ‘self taught’ artist. Trying mediums like pastel, acrylics, ink, watercolour, nail polish, biro and screen ink and a subject matter as varied. But my specialty lies in drawing animals with coloured pencils.
My art has been a hobby, until in 2006 when I entered into NEIS (New Enterprise Incentive Scheme) and completed a Small Business Management course. My hobby is now my business.
