Visual Art – Sydney

I have been drawing and painting for 25 years, my main subject has ben the figure. I love working with people. Over the past few years I have focused on artworks of women during pregnancy. I hope to create art which captures and expresses the feeling of this incredible time of a woman\'s life. I have recently illustrated a book of affirmations for pregnant women called \'Sweet Surrender, celebrating pregnancy & birth\'. Recently, I feel an incredible urge to include more nature in my painting. I spend a lot of time in the Jervis Bay area in the bush and beach. I am hoping to express our unity with nature and the spiritual connection I feel. My family are also represented in my work. I teach art to primary school children in Sydney and absolutely love it. They are always surprising, daring and exciting as artists! I have 3 children who have been my focus for the past 17 years and am just starting to have the time, energy, space and motivation to return more fully to my art practice.  www.pregnantportraits.com.au
