where you will find many examples of my artistic work.

for film and stage work, community events, promotions, functions, corporate events, workshops, children's and adults' parties.
My passion began during my travels through India and Africa in the 70s where I was fascinated by the contrasting colours of the people, their clothes and their individual characteristics. Tribal and Village body art has been a big influence. I love people-watching ... we are such amazing creatures.
I've been painting faces on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia since 1990 starting with children and gradually expanding into the adult market. My painting style is influenced by my travels which has made the art more exciting. I have recently began using temporary tattoos as a further extension of my art.
I am self-taught though have obtained a Certificate 11 in Art from Cooloola Sunshine Institute of Tafe in 1998. In 2004, I obtained a Certificate 4 in Workplace Training and Assessment and now teach Face and Body art.
In 1999 I won an award at the Noosa Film Festival Body Art competition and have been placed in several Australian and international competitions since then.
