PAT'S BIOGRAPHY

Born in Five Dock, living in Frenchs Forest & moving to Dungog in 2001 - I inherited my art love from my Mum who accompanied me to drawing classes when a teenager. I started oil painting when I was an “at home” mum enjoying night classes in painting, leatherwork and pottery. As a member of Lane Cove & Drummoyne Art Societies I exhibited in many art shows and selective exhibitions selling through local galleries and shops – with paintings in England, Scotland, Canada, India & Alaska. However, my painting waned when I returned to full time work in marketing. After retiring and moving to Dungog I joined the Dungog Arts Society and held the position of secretary for years. With my husband (born in Broken Hill) the love of the outback, camping, sailing and Dungog’s lovely country scenery enthuses me and is depicted in my art.
