She delights in creating colourful, clean watercolours with her work, encompassing many subjects, usually inspired by light/shade, colour or shape. She has won over 59 awards, including 19 firsts in the past 10 years and her works are held in private and corporate collections throughout Australia and overseas.This class is ideal for those who would like to learn watercolour or improve their current skills in this exciting and beautiful medium.
