Clear Water, Nibbalin

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.

Becoming an artist

by Leave a Comment

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.
