I was born in the Netherlands, moving to Melbourne as a small child. After training as a secondary art teacher in Melbourne, I moved to South, East and then Central Gippsland. I have resided here for the past 48 years. For much of this time I taught art in the tertiary, secondary or disability sectors.
I have moved from pastels on paper, to acrylic on canvas as my prefered media in recent years. Drawing remains an abiding interest, with life drawing sessions always on the agenda.
