I have a passion for watercolour, and have been painting for over 25 years. I am inspired by my love of drawing figures, faces, and places I have travelled. Children, street scenes, beach scenes, coastal life, wildlife, and portraits are my favourite subjects to paint. I have won a number of awards, and been involved with numerous solo and joint group exhibitions. My works are also in private collections nationally and internationally. After moving to the beautiful Sunshine Coast in 2021, I have continued to paint, exhibit and sell my art, and my love for watercolour continues.

For our 2024 exhibition, Therese contributed the artworks Pelican Chatter and The Farrier.
