                                                            Australia


                                                            Other countries I have lived -

                                                            I have travelled extensively through India, Nepal, Burma, Thailand, Philippines and Japan in S.E Asia; Europe, British Isles, Middle East and Mediterranean countries as well as to countries in the African continent such as South Africa, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Mali, Gambia and Senegal.

                                                            My professional visual arts practice and knowledge of art history have been significantly influenced by my travel experiences. This has also contributed to the development of my skills and knowledge as a tutor in teaching visual arts subjects.

                                                            The longest time I have travelled and worked overseas was in India from 1980-81 and West Africa for six months from 1986-87.

                                                            My teaching style -

                                                            I enjoy teaching visual arts especially drawing and creative mixed media, as I am passionate about inspiring students' creativity and encouraging the development of their artistic skills.

                                                            I hope that my students learn to be enthusiastic, open and relaxed as they experiment with different art media and develop their own unique style of art making as they gradually acquire drawing and design skills.

                                                            Both the ‘Drawing For Beginners’ classes and ‘Creative Mixed Media’ workshops are very practical, hands-on and experientially based, even though I do incorporate aspects of art history and art theory into all my courses.


                                                            Something unique or unusual that people might not know about me -

                                                            My method of teaching and professional arts practice has been influenced by my additional training at post-graduate level as an art therapist.

                                                            Combined with my love of travelling, especially in Asia and Africa, my experience as an art therapist has encouraged me to focus more on the ‘grass roots’ of creative expression and the inner world of the imagination.

                                                            My preferred mediums as an artist are collage, drawing and photography and most of the imagery and symbols in my work are directly influenced by my travels. For example, there is a strong African influence in my art work in the way I use colour, texture and pattern as well as recurrent zebra symbols and imagery. Many of my own travel photographs form the basis for my paintings and collages.
