I completed a diploma in Art and Design at Swinburne, Prahran Campus in 1986 and started her career as a sign writer for Valhalla Cinema and as a book designer at Collins Dove in Melbourne. After moving to the bush near Castlemaine in Central Victoria my creative path took a turn, inspired by the nature environment. I began studying Printmaking and Mosaics. After completing a diploma in Sculptural Engineering my work is now predominantly a sculptural practice.
