Study - "A Studio Visit"
Oil on panel, 11x14
From the time I was a little girl one of my favourite past-times was doing portraits of the special people in my life.
As a very young teen I stood in
rapture watching a local artist doing a portrait demonstration in the
local department store. Looking back, I now recognize the life-changing
event that this was; opening up for me a glorious new world.
In my own by-the-seat-of-my-pants
style of learning, I set off to find out more about this incredible
world of painting people - my loving and encouraging parents supporting
and encouraging me in every way.
Painting people - particuarly my children - has always been a big part of my life as an artist and continues to be.
I am happy to announce that I will now be taking on additional portrait commissions and expanding this side of my artist life.
I will share more with you on this
subject in the coming weeks and months. However, in the meantime, I
welcome any questions and inquiries you might have.

Over the past number of years I've embraced the idea of painting "Dailies", those diminutive, delightful paintings which are overtaking artist's studios the world over.
This fast-growing group of artists, known as "Daily Painters" are painting small paintings daily - or weekly. There are many variations to this theme as there are artists.
The "Dailies" adventure is there for you to explore, and only limited by your imagination.
I hope you'll join me in discovering your own adventure and experience firsthand the growth and freshness in your own work that every artist seeks.
