BEC

I've been a painter and chalk pastel artist for 20+ years and have shown, sold, and donated artworks. I followed a career in business, and I’m also a strategist/analyst, business coach, and mum. During my Masters and PhD study, I took a special interest in human strengths and contagion of positive wellbeing. I have lectured and published academic papers in this area, and my genuine passion to spread wellbeing shines through in everything I do.

I was born in Wollongong, grew up in Woonona, and reside in Farmborough Heights; a gorgeous leafy suburb with a wonderful community and a glimpse of the sea from my wrap around balcony. I absolutely adore the Illawarra region and my clay pieces are inspired by the beauty in the life and landscape here. Every creation has a story, and most are personal and close to my heart.

With my art, I hope to impart the joy and serenity of mindful making and living beautifully wedged between the escarpment and the sea… morning coffee, afternoon tea, or evening red in hand.

My sunshine, my moonshine, and my earth.

BACON (whippet)

Likes: snoozing on human furniture, toddler snack gifts, every person in the entire world.

Dislikes: baths, being left behind, ducks.

JOY (ex-racing greyhound)

Likes: sneakily stealing items to hide in her bed, slow schniff-schnoff walks around the neighborhood, full-body leaning in for pats.

Dislikes: when her older brother won’t play, cats, when the humans don’t provide infinite pats.
