Born in Australia. Loved growing up in Mt Isa and Magnetic Island. Dreamt or coming to Europe and possibly to study fashion in Rome.
Didn’t know how to go about it when I arrived there. panicked and probably directed to St Martins School of Art.

Graduated in 1974 and went on to post - graduate study at Parsons School of design New York, specialising in drawing.

In drawings I have always placed importance on character and the body and how it moves. When i designed clothes I also wanted the line to flow.
I have been drawing practically all my life and was encouraged by my parents and inspired by my older brother who was great at drawing cartoons. Drawing is part of my life and I have never really stopped doing it even when I was working in other areas of design.

I draw for myself and if I am not doing it physically I am mentally casting a line.
It’s demanding, and not always a happy experience. It’ a bit like falling in love, but unrequited.
