Clear Water, Nibbalin

Clear Water, Nibbalin Growing up in Hobart I spent hours day dreaming and playing in the Clear Water, Nibbalin.

The River Derwent was named by John Hayes in 1793 and means clear water. It was however originally named by our First Nations People thousands of years before. Nibbalin was one of its names.

Nibbalin has been my playground and visual reminder of the beauty of living in Hobart. The painting is a tribute to the great water mass that thousands of people and animals have enjoyed over time and it’s seductive hold is has over many.

The smell of the ocean air rising up from it’s back, the grumbling of it’s belly, the hypnotic beauty on a clear, crisp day. Nibbalin you have hypnotised me and I love you.

Mykonos Art

by Leave a Comment

The Monaco of Greece

Two weeks ago I headed over to Mykonos to paint and relax. It is the perfect island to do both of these things (and throw in wonderful food and a vibrant party scene).

The blues are everything you see in travel brochures – vibrant, clean and almost true colours.

Equipped with my Sennelier water colour set which I bought in Nice, France about 8 years ago, off I set every day.

The colours of the Aegean were equally as appealing as the Cote D’Azure and not too cold.

Mornings exercising, lunch times eating and painting and evenings exploring.

I found Mykonos has a healthy art scene. Due to the “clientel” they receive many wonderful pieces are available. Super yacht owners, random travelers and people like myself.

After meeting a few gallery owners I know would love to have pieces hung in Mykonos next year. The island is very seasonal with most things closing down now until May 2020.

These are some of my favourite images of the island.

Becoming an artist

Art has been my passion, my heart felt calling since I was born.

It is with me when I wake and when I go to bed. However I hadn’t made a career of it, until this year, as my other calling was in the nutrition space and being able to support my children as they grew up.

Now with six published books, 2 best sellers, and an established reputation and following as a nutritionist and naturopath it is time to explore my art calling.

This is an article in the newspaper about my journey.
