I am a Hunter Valley based artist who completed a Master of Arts (MA) from Sofia University.

I work mostly in Acrylics and Watercolor.

I search for the extraordinary in subject material. It may be a landscape or a single flower I find interesting, or would like to understand. I am particularly mesmerized by sunsets and sunrises. I look for the excitement of intense light, mood and the dramatic sculptural forms in the object. 

Since I moved to the Hunter Valley I have participated in three local exhibitions, selling a painting in each one and winning an award at the Dungog exhibition for my painting Birch Grove in the category of traditional landscape.
