- as part of The Artists of Life group
1980’s - after university, I worked for many years in human resources, various marketing projects, and since 2014 in commercial property management.
1990’s - I was a theatrical producer, assistant to a professional artist, and for 14 part –time years, I wrote visual art reviews.
Since 2011 - I have been assiduously developing sculpting skills, working in clay/ stoneware, porcelain and limestone.
Professional Info
Being a part of a group of artists who attend a weekly life class, be it at the Gasworks Arts Park studio or in private studios, helped launch me into the first productive stage of sculpting.
As a collective we exhibited three times, twice calling ourselves `The Artists of Life` reflecting our diverse mediums, practices, age and backgrounds. The group evolved into `Capturing Form` facilitated by artist and teacher, Renee Gross-Zylbersztajn.
My on going professional development includes attending the workshops at Bayside Sculpture under the aegis of sculptor Gael O’Leary and at Hawthorn Studio Gallery tutored by master ceramicist Graeme Foote.
