About Me

My Photo
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Life in the historic town of Windsor, flanked by the Hawkesbury River is idyllic. So much beauty, so many sensory gifts touch my life. My passion is drawing. It's absolute simplicity is it's gift and it's challenge. The gift: instant communication from head and heart to hand and paper. The challenge: to be constantly present with the work, to leave the World behind, and stay open to inspiration flooding in. If not, then pencil as a medium is unforgiving. I've been creating art professionally since 1995. Five Solo, many Group Exhibitions and commissions and creating whimsical art for eBay have kept me busy for years. I love the Miniature. As a balance my ocean paintings and large Equine graphites are spirited and airy! I rode horses from the age of 8,finding a life~long love and empathy with them when my first pony came to live with us. Patches, the fiery pinto taught me the meaning of tenacity, independance, patience, love, and facing my disappointments. Her beautiful red chestnut coat flashed with snow white, inspired my imagination. Horses continue to power my creativity, their beauty and spirit are endlessly inspiring! Jen

'The Young Ones'


Another little image is surfacing from the ethers! Being blessed with the company of horses and dogs in my life I'm sure is like walking with Angels made visible. When the unseen world, the realm of feeling and spirit, seems abstract and difficult to understand, 'snapshots' appear in my consciousness like photos materialising in a darkroom tray..

Our little poodle x chihuahua, Bonnie, is in her 'wise years' yet she plays like a puppy. Races around the lawn with four year old Jess~Princess~Papillon. She looks at me with her amazing dark eyes, reminding me of love absolute and unconditional. Her heart is young. I am drawing her on a fun jaunt with a young at heart colt, bareback as I used to ride when I was less conscious of my mortality.
