Featured Artist
March 2026
I was born, and spent my early years in the Australian outback, being exposed to open spaces as far as the horizon, bright colors and being self-reliant. The Australian "I can do it" spirit was part of my families heritage, greatly increased by going to boarding school from grades 8-12 which meant very limited family contact. After obtaining a degree as an Occupational Therapist, I then traveled overseas combining work and sightseeing for many years.i lived in the UK for some years, then moved to the USA in 1994. My career as an Occupational Therapists spanned over 30 years and three continents before retiring in 2017 turning to my love of art and making this a new career.
Over the years I have explored multiple mediums including oils, pencil, acrylic, encaustic wax and alcohol ink. While continuing to use all in mixed medium applications, my love remains with heavy body acrylics, employing textures and 3d effects using with palette knife. Refusing to be constrained in any one one style, I love to explore anything that catches my attention and try to make it unique. I have no formal art training, however, I have been lucky to have many artist friends to learn from and i visit art galleries wherever I go.
My spouse and I came to Sun City in mid 2025, where I immediately joined All About Art, and SOBA, and most recently Hilton Head Art League. I displayed art successfully for 4 years in a co-op in Greensboro NC but had to pull out when moving out of state, however, I continue to display work in Monroe and Waxhaw in NC.
CALENDAR PROMPTS FOR THE WALL DISPLAY, JANUARY – DECEMBER 2026
THE DISPLAY WALL IS OPEN TO ANYTHING YOU’D LIKE TO HAVE HUNG. YOU DO NOT NEED TO FOLLOW THE SUGGESTED PROMPT!
Unless otherwise noted or announced for a specific month, we will have pick up and drop off on the same day, the Thursday prior to the First Saturday of each month. You must have picked up and dropped off by 2 PM that day. Be sure your art is framed and wired properly! A proper wiring example is at the front of the art room. Please watch for updates. There might be date or time changes.
· January – FEATURING THE CLASSES
The Display Wall will feature examples of art made in All About Art classes. There will be weekly open houses with hands-on activities. We’ll get to show our community what we’re doing and how they can join in the fun!
· February – The Art from the Creative Vision Show
· March---ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL
We live amid incredible biodiversity. Let’s feature a wall full of the critters we see each day and those who are rare. NOPE—They do not have to be animals we have here in the Lowcountry. Terrestrial, aquatic and even extra-terrestrial will be welcomed!
· April— The Spring Art Show. After the show, one piece each artist would like on the Display Wall will be moved there after the show.
· May--- BOOK COVERS
Why not re-design the cover of your favorite book? As artists, we’ve all lingered over the jackets of books, thinking about the design, and wondering how it was chosen. Classic, romance, mystery, fiction or reality. It will be fun to see your cover design for a favorite book many may have read. Moby Dick or Murder on the Orient Express---it’ll be fun! Be sure to list the name of the book on your display card.
· June—A QUOTE THAT MOVES YOU
Many of us have special quotes that inspire or affirm us. You can interpret it, or incorporate the actual quote into your painting. If you wish, you can type or write the quote, so we can hang it next to your painting.
· July and August- WHAT YOU’RE WORKING ON. . .
If you’re trying a new medium, or perfecting an image, let’s share it with each other this summer. The hot, hot summer requires a wide and wonderful wall for us to all enjoy in the cool of the studio. Bring it all. The same pick up and drop off days in each month apply.
· September---INCORPORATE THE IMAGE!
Do you have a favorite photo or image that you have thought would look great in one of your paintings. Let’s try this! Adhere
a personal photo, an image from a comic book or magazine, or anything you want to your canvas or paper, and then incorporate it into an original painting. This was suggested by a member—and if you look on the internet, you will find some wonderful examples!
· October—SHADES OF BLUE
Black and White month was so popular (45 paintings displayed!) last year, that we’re trying it again….but with blue. Paint something that is primarily some shade of blue…or if you prefer, with just a touch of blue.
· November—Fall Art Show art will be hung.
· December – ANYTHING GOES
This seems to be a club favorite, so let’s do it again. Artists can display traditional and non-traditional art forms, prints, giclee, fabric art---really just about anything goes! Collages with found objects that are securely fastened to a canvas will be accepted. We will accommodate all art that can be hung on the wall. Up to two pieces per artist, or if you have an oversized piece you want to display, please just bring one. There will be a Featured Artist, but other than that, the whole wall will be used.
Some things will stay the same: The Featured Artist will remain a monthly feature in its current location. Art from the All About Art Spring, Fall Art Shows, and Creative Vision will be displayed in the month after the show. Things to remember: Abstract and Digital art is welcomed each month. Please, no AI generated art. Flat canvases without frames will not be accepted. The canvas must be framed, or be at least 1 3/8 “ with finished edges. Unless otherwise noted, the size of the painting or paintings submitted may not exceed 1248 square inches.
