With a keen interest in drawing & painting as a child, Gillian has been involved in the creative arts since leaving school to study Fine Arts at the National Art School, Sydney.

She continued on to become an accredited Interior Designer & member of the Interior Design Society of Australia with her own professional studio, beginning a life long love affair with the use of colour and design.

Since moving to the Dayboro area, north of Brisbane, she has attended several tutored art groups & holds various certificates, diplomas & awards, with artworks exhibited & sold locally & interstate. 

Gillian has also enjoyed being involved with teaching  children art & assisting with their enjoyment of visiting art galleries.

Through the use of colour & subject matter her aim is to produce uplifting works bringing joy to the viewer with an emphasis on nature’s beauty, which is influenced by the natural bush surrounds of her studio at Lacey’s Creek. 

Her medium of choice is oil painting on canvas, but also enjoys many other mediums including pastel, textile & silk screen printing, collage, paper mache, clay  & photography.
