Sorry I haven't been around for a long time -- life just seems to get in the way sometimes, with more important family and personal things to attend to. My family has always come first in my life, and other things just follow on behind.
I am currently taking part in a Miniature ATC Exchange on WetCanvas with the subject being "Abstract". Each participant has to paint 20 different ATCs to send on to the 20 artists who are taking part in this Project. The ATCs go all over the world to their new homes, and in return I have received a card from each participant, making a wonderful worldwide collection of art. All ATC cards must measure 3.5"x2.5".
Here are the 20 cards I have sent off. All are done in Pen and Ink with various techniques. I chose the theme of Patchwork Quilt Blocks, and had SO MUCH FUN creating each card.
I was brought up in a very loving home with wonderful parents and my younger brother (who is also my great friend). Loved to read, write and do puzzles as a kid. My major occupation was Private Secretary to a Lawyer and in Real Estate. After I married, there was an amazing twist in my life, when I had the opportunity to become involved in the Arts, and thus began my painting life. My first love was painting on Porcelain, and I took Seminars with as many top teachers from Australia and Overseas as I possibly could. I taught Porcelain Painting in an Adelaide Gallery, having studied and qualified as a teacher in 1986. I have been very fortunate to travel most of Australia many times over, as well as Fiji, Bali, and Europe including England and Scotland. I lived for 3 months in The Hague in Holland, and that was a really magic time in my life.
I have one son, who is my pride and joy.
