Q:What is your favourite painting medium and why ?
A:Watercolour, probably because I grew up painting with it and feel comfortable with it.
Q: Who are your favourite artists past or present. ?
A: love the work of Monet and Renoir, also Margaret Olley and the watercolourist Dellene Strong.

A: The gallery has benefited me by giving me a venue for my work and introducing me to other artists.
