When she was 19 her gypsy spirit and need to explore brought her to the East Coast of Australia where she began her journey as a full time artist. “Ocean Stones” is a series of amazing painted pebbles created by covering the stones found on the New Zealand beaches with a multitude of small colored dots, creating some beautiful patterns and gradients. She’s influenced by nature, animals, the changing seasons, and her world travels with a musician husband.
Painting is my way to find my ‘happy place’ and color is a way to express and celebrate the colors of my soul. Looking at my art from over the years it is very evident that my art becomes like a storybook into my life- where I was, what I was doing, what inspired and interested me at that time.
Simply beautiful!
