About With a Pencil
“With-a-Pencil” comes from my deep belief in each persons' capacity to create.
It also speaks of the place where my making begins.
When asked...
“How do I draw a cat?”
my cheeky reply would be - “With a pencil”
I would then enquire about what was the goal and then move on to teach them how they could draw what they wanted.
Quirky, environmental, uniquely Australian and charming pieces of my locally designed and produced art made available to purchase. Printmaking, in the form of Lino block carving, is my passion. Flexing my drawing, painting and sculpting skills is also a joy.
Content of my work reflects my passion for Australian nature, interest in history, pride in community, social/political voice and a deep adoration of the arts.
Original pieces incorporated into gift items including tourist specific works created to highlight the uniqueness of our rural location. Using my professional skills to enhance products, educational resources for tourist locations.
Inspiring creativity by developing manual and conceptual skills in others with my classes.
