Tại sao bạn lại làm nghệ thuật?
Art became a way for me to create something permanent after years of  investing my time into looking after my fairly big family. Art is the place I slow down & often get very quiet and meditative

Bạn đã vẽ tranh được bao lâu rồi?
I have always made art & been creative. My watercolours are also unusual in my process as they really reflect my drawing background, I almost want to call them drawings in watercolour as they are very lime and wash based

Did you have form al art training?
I had a wonderful art teacher in elementary/primary school and I believe she laid a very strong foundation for me. High School I also had the privilege of access to an art centre with really great teachers. I studied Textile Design there & believe it has influenced my work towards simplification and unusual layout. After school I sudied a degree in art, which was very conceptual. It killed art for me so I took a ten year break before returning to drawing late at night when the whole family was asleep. I had to teach myself everything I know about watercolour. Luckily I love geeking out , so am forever going deeper into it

Bạn là nghệ sĩ chuyên nghiệp hay chỉ là nghệ sĩ nghiệp dư?

Bạn lấy cảm hứng từ ai và/hoặc điều gì?
I gather inspiration from many fields. Everyday mundane, the way light falls, ideas I read about, and lots of artists throughout history

Bạn thường nghe loại nhạc gì khi vẽ tranh?
I love quiet while I paint. I often also paint while supporting my children in schooling or hanging out with friends. In an ideal getting to really indulge, I would listen to classical or indie music, something gentle and human. I also love listening to podcasts while painting but sometimes the words take me out of my glow state, so I turn it off.
