About

Working from my studio in Flemington, Melbourne,  I have been painting for more than 40 years.  After studying fine art at Prahran College of Advanced Education, I was part of the group of artists who founded Roar Studios in the late ’70s early ’80s and have been exhibiting in one person and group shows ever since.

I have also worked on community art projects, in publishing, on environmental projects and with young people in community programs since the ’90s. 

With Deb Robertson I regularly run Drawing Breath yoga and drawing retreats and have also mentored young people who are starting out in their arts practice. 

I share my home studios with my husband Gordon Hickmott and his ceramics school, Brixton Street Pottery.

DUring Covid I stopped oil painting but took up watercolours and after a recent printmaking residency in Fiji , I have started printing again . And oil painting continues

My recent show at 484 Presents in Carlton was warmly received and thank you all for coming or sending your support
