Featured Artist Question and Answers:
How long have you been painting? I have been drawing for as long as I can remember, I started playing with paint in my teens & started painting as a fine artist rather than a graphic artist full time in 1997
 
How have you developed your skill in this area? As a part of my apprenticeship in an advertising agency I attended Sydney school of Graphic design where illustration, colour & design, and all sorts of other necessary skills were taught. Since then it has always been a matter of self development, working at it & pushing yourself to do things you think you cant do always helps in your development. In the advertising art studio, you didn’t have a choice about whether you could do something or not, you just had to do it. That really forces you to grow!
 
Who or what has been a major inspiration/influence in your painting? On one level my father encouraged me to draw as a child & spent lots of time showing me about dimension & perspective.. Since beginning to paint & teach my husband has been a major encourager & supporter as well as my family. On another level, I have been drawn more & more to paint. God has so many amazing works of art & amazing colour combinations that He has created that it is impossible not to try & copy them
 
What do you hope to give with your art? Personally I am always aiming to capture the essence of something as fluently & freely & simply as possible. To say more with as little detail as possible if that makes sense. It is a challenge to not overwork your art. Professionally it would be having work exhibited in galleries around the world and having my work very sought after for its appeal & value
 
What do you get from your art? I think art as well as any other form of creativity is a God given pressure valve for releasing tension. So I find painting takes my mind of anything else. I enjoy the challenge of creating something & looking at the finished product. I also enjoy seeing other people get enjoyment from something I do.
 
What has been your greatest moment with your painting? I can’t think of a particular moment, except when I break through in something I have been struggling with. Being commissioned by a boutique 5 star hotel to paint 225 original paintings because he loved my art was a bit exciting though! Every time I sell a painting is still exciting even though I have been doing it for a long time. Walking in to the first opening night of an exhibition & seeing the little red dots on your paintings is always a thrill as well.
 
Where would you like to take your art? Everywhere
 
What would you say to someone who is interested in taking up painting? I think it is great for everyone to have a paint, sometimes you never know you have a gift until you start doing something. I really found out by accident, & when I taught art I would often see the same thing. Enjoy it & don’t be too serious & find a good art class. For someone who wanted to paint as a full time living, I would say be prepared to work twice as hard as most, you have to be very mentally disciplined & not sensitive to criticism.
 
What part of your spirit adds to your success as an artist? Definitely Gods spirit within me, he inspires me, sometimes teaches me.
 
Who do you know that is a ‘spirited’ woman? In the art world of days gone by I would say Mary Cassat & Australian Vida Lahay. Sunshine Coast artist Linda Vario is certainly a very spirited artist. Apart from art I know my 3 daughters are certainly all very spirited women.
 
Is there anything else you would like to let us know about you?I think we live in a very fast pace world today & often don’t take time to stop & smell the roses. When I paint I like to depict “time out” or paint overlooked things that we often don’t notice because of our business. Even though that is what I paint I am also guilty of being too busy. But I would like to encourage all your ladies to take time out & appreciate what God has put here for us to enjoy!
