Living in Regional NSW does not necessarily mean isolation for an artist.  Participating in activities within the township allows me to connect with fellow artists and having access to Create NSW Regional Arts Programme is a must. Since running my own gallery (2020) I have managed to have a permanent exhibition space that has had remarkable consequences for my art making.  The mountains, fresh air and a healthy lifestyle are the best stimulus for my creativity.
