Artist’s Journey

 “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up” - Pablo Picasso

I have always wanted to be an artist. As a young girl I would spend hours relaxing in my sister’s room as she quietly painted with classical music softly playing in the background. She was the artist in the family and like many young girls I wanted to be like my sister!

Fast forward 30 years, I find myself in Singapore, living in Sentosa and spending time with a group of very talented women as we learn together the basics about drawing cubes, circles, practicing still life and shading drapes. I can say with out hesitation that I had the best art teacher during those years. Cora Waterhouse taught us the basics and then encouraged us to blossom into the areas that interested us the most. Drawing with charcoal was interesting, pastels were a beautiful mess, but trying each medium was a delight in itself.

I finally settled on acrylic painting and pastels. I enjoy using the pallet knife technique to add texture to the paintings, when needed. After a few years in Singapore, most of Cora’s art students moved on, myself included, but Sentosa was where my art journey began…

My focus is on creating high quality, reasonably priced artwork, with my personal style, that brings joy and life to your living space or office. In current times, I think it is especially important to have a painting that makes you smile, evokes a memory and ignites a feeling. For me, this represents true art. I am privileged to say that my paintings are hanging in homes in Singapore, Manila, Colombo, Hawaii, California and Sydney. I hope that each painting has brought a whisper of joy to its owner.
