Your Tutor: Art has always been a part of my life, from drawing the things around me as a little girl through to a BA (Fine Arts) Honours Degree where I achieved firsts for painting and design. The vibrant West Australian art world has been an inspiration and I have taught all the different mediums since moving here more than 26 years ago. I have won a number of prizes for my paintings and sold extensively to people returning to a variety of countries.
