Me, not so different - Asian South African

Now part of the dominant zeitgeist

Born when

Apartheid ruled

The end of McCarthyism, Polio vaccines rollout

 and Elvis rocked

Boarding school Catholic, believe in the goodness of humans

And the power of the universe

Inspired by my environment

Dry grasses, seeds and weeds 

Poetry and Haikus

And always Jack Keroac pops

What lights me up I ask myself?

It is the colours of a tree trunk when it sheds its bark,

I am woman, mother, grandmother, lover, sister,

Accountant and volunteer

Traveller and wanderer

I am bookartist, printer and multimedia artist 

     Education:

    I hold a Masters degree in Business Law from Monash University in Australia

    A Bachelor of Business in Accounting from Swinburne University in Australia

    Prior to moving to Accounting I took Literature and Poetry as part of an Arts degree.

    I undertook the Art Pathways in Castlemaine Australia ( where I live) 

    I travelled 664 kilometres from home to Canberra to cpmplete a post graduate  

    subject, the book as art. 

    Ongoing professional education in printing, book making, papermaking are   

    taken each year through Grampians Arts in Australia. 

    

    The Emerald Hill Artist Group has long been my art family and we have held group 

     exhibitions each year. 

     My husband and I open our studio Kalimna Art Studio as part of the Castlemaine 

     State Festival and Open Studios.
