Most of my life I enjoyed taking photos. In my later years, the kids left home and moved away, leaving me with the empty nest syndrome and a renewed passion for photography was born. My first ever panorama was 3 handheld images which I clumsily stitched together. I lived on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and was intrigued by the legend of Glasshouse Mountains. Entering the council tourism competition, I was blown away when my entry was selected as the winning image.

The photography bug became my newly discovered lease on life. Moving to Perth in 2015, I became a serious hobby photographer. Since then, I have been successful in entering both local and Australia/New Zealand wide competitions.
In 2022 I won a silver medal in the Australian Cup individual competition and in 2023 I received a top 8 award in the Australian Landscape Photography competition.

2023 was my first attempt into the Salon Photographic Competition and 5 of my images were chosen to be exhibited in the Central Park Building Perth. I was honoured to have one of my images being awarded the winner of the sponsor’s choice award. I have been very successful in participating in the Royal Perth Agricultural Show being the winner of the wildlife category 2025 as well as the Open Colour category in 2026.
Being retired photography gives me a purpose in life and allows me to enjoy nature and share my passion with friends
