My Art
Artist's Statement
My husband and I have lived in Coromandel for over 18 years. After leaving farming we bought Te Kouma Harbour Cottages which we had for 15 years.
Art was always a dream for me since my school days. I taught ceramics and pottery for many years when my children were young but it wasn't until friends talled me into doing an oil painting course with Wayne Sinclair (a well known New Zealand oil painting artist) that I was inspired to paint. I also did a water colour course with Jean Marie Contreau, a French watercolor artist, and then joined our local pastel art group where I have learnt from many well known NZ and overseas artists.
I now have my own studio in Tiki Rd, where our pastel group meets every Wednesday morning, as we as regular seminars.
