Zealand.
Australia, Singapore, and New
Zealand presented disparities
between city and country,

These factors relate in my
mind to mapping. I found my
work developed lines large and
small throughout each piece.
When I analized the pieces it

quite knowing where I will be
at any one time in the future.
A map is a two dimensional
representation of the three

fourth dimension of time. My
artwork,is a simulacrum of
this ideal. They are built up

I have been involved in arts all my life in one way or another. Being born to parents both of whom had an interest in the visual arts.
Moving to Singapore allowed me the time dollars and space to formalise this interest. |

| Your Personal Biography |
Born in Dunedin, New Zealand
Educated at Otago Girls' High School, Dunedin.
Office worker, Marriage and three children later I took up spinning wool, weaving and dying the wool which I made into useable objects and also wall hangings.
I have been involved in the arts attending evening painting classes off and on during my years when family was a priority in my life.
When my husband took up a position teaching in Singapore where we stayed for almost twelve years, I worked in various offices as a Personal Assistant but in the end decided to use my time in Singapore to formalise my interest in the arts and particularly in Fine Art.
LASALLE School of the Arts in Singapore was my choice of school (there were only two art schools there when I started my Diploma in Fine Arts and culminated with a First Degree Honours in Fine Arts.
We have now returned to New zealand where I have joined with a group of Artists in a working studio. |
