Artist Bio
am a retired primary school teacher who majored in Art . Although I was mainly a generalist classroom teacher , I have taught art at several schools during my career . Since retiring 11 years ago I have devoted my time and energy to pursuing my love of art . My medium of choice is oil paints and I use these to create paintings in a stylised realistic manner . My favourite subjects ate people and bird portraits , sunsets and sunrises and scenes from nature that feature drama and texture . I also paint using soft pastels and watercolours . for the past 7 years, I have been learning exploring printmaking techniques . I have created prints using these methods: linocut, woodcut, collagraphs, etching, dry point, monotype and monoprint, white line printing, eco printing and screen printing. I especially enjoy reduction lino and wood cuts , white line prints and shellac etching . This is the 10th year in which I have entered the Apollo Bay art show
