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

Remember the Moments that take your breath away!


I love painting curtains, and lace.. The ephemeral "almost there' quality of the sheer fabric reminds me of the nature of so much we experience here. Sometimes what we have to go through is tough, hard to accept and painful. And the lovely, the delicate whisper~quiet moments can seem to disappear. But perhaps they are there all the time, asking to be noticed, if we will simply say 'yes' to them. We need only lift the veil, and there is beauty.

Our poodle x chihuahua Bonnie is the inspiration for this painting.
