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

Metamorphosis


Fifteen amazing little living examples of constant change are living out the start of their lives on my Studio desk! I rescued these Peron's Tree Frog tadpoles from a small pool of water in a friend's garden about 2 months ago. The days were still very warm, and not long after I set the taddies up in two aquariums at home, the pool was a green warm soup with no sign of life other than algae. So watching them change and grow legs is so rewarding, knowing that there will be a few more precious frogs on the Earth because I helped them!
