At Blue Stone Cottage Studio Gallery you will find a selection of the landscape works (as detailed in on the website above).
My paintings focus upon both rural and coastal landscapes, in a style that ranges from realist to semi-abstract, and in a range of dimensions from very small to two metres wide. Commissions are welcome.
I have exhibited works in regional metropolitan galleries and shows for over a decade. After moving interstate several times, and living in Melbourne with my husband and three daughters, we have settled in Haddon, on acres near Ballarat, where we have created a welcoming and relaxed studio gallery art space for visitors.
