The magic of the stage show was always part of her childhood, travelling with her father in stunts shows, theatres, and movie sets throughout Great Britain and Europe. These formative years provided the lifelong inspiration for a unique exploration of the theatrical and dramatic including the notion of fantasy art and exotic women. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small; color: black;\"\u003eThese painted memories, these characters and visions, are executed on canvas with loving detail and a potent ability.

I found this art fascinating, and the very name “Magic Realism” conjured up visions from my past. A past influenced by weird and wonderful people, tattooed ladies, contortionists, clowns and movie people and all seen as a child, travelling to different countries, as my father had given up his career as an art teacher to become a stunt man and a stand-in for movie actors. The family travelled extensively with him. All of this led to a colourful visual array of experiences to draw from, and put into present day paintings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-AU\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-AU\"\u003e‘The Magic Realist artists, and later the surrealists, people like Delvaux, Otto Dix, Christian Schad, Frank Lenk and later Giorgio de Chirico were a large influence in my thinking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-AU\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-AU\"\u003e‘Drawing is very important.
