| How long have you been painting? Since the beginning of 2000, so almost 10 years. |
| |
| How have you developed your skill in this area?
I was very lucky to hang out with a friend/artist for one day a week for several years at the beginning, he taught me from scratch how to paint, for which I will always be grateful. |
| |
| |
| Who or what has been a major inspiration/influence in your painting? I love painting women… I was specifically drawn to figurative painting and love many of the artists who specialised in this area … Klimt, Modigliani, Picasso, Matisse to name a few.
|

| What do you hope to give with your art?

And a stationery range would be another desire for me to achieve. I am about to launch my third solo exhibition "A Golden Thread" beginning Sunday 8th November 2009, at Tiffany Jones Fine Art Gallery, in Buderim.
