My novel writing remains  my primary creative focus at the moment and painting with words is my current medium.  My studio is still filled with oil paint, watercolours and pastels and I see these with fondness every day, however it is the iMac computer that draws me more than brushes and my ever changing art work garden I am admiring more than creations I painted and hung on the wall.

My art works are selling along with my prints as a result of my opening my eBay store. The prints and art print gifts i mail to customers world wide, the originals are for clients by appointment direct from my Mooroopna studio.

Here is the synopsis of my current art work in progress.:-

Book one NaNoWriMo 2010 - Book 2 NaNoWriMo 2011

In early European settlement of Australia, many groups of people interacted harmoniously and with respect of each other’s culture.
Many bitter altercations did however take place. One such conflict was between the Woggan-Wandong people, and the Fife clan settlers on the huge Mimosa Downs Station. They had, at first coexisted. Misunderstandings led to violent, confrontations, which, in 1882, resulted in deadly conflict. Both groups believed the other had begun it and brutal payback resulted in spilt blood.
A conflict of this intensity is not short lasting. In the first of the series of Woggan-Wandong novels, three young children, Jarrah, Emily and Harry, all great grandchildren of the first European settler of the district, Jane Fife, return to Mimosa Downs Station to find that repercussions from those early conflicts last for generations.
Jarrah is an orphan boy caught between two cultures. He learns he is a descendant of the Scottish settlers who had arrived at Fife Springs a century before. As such, he is a possible heir to the massive Mimosa Downs Cattle Station. The early settlers had begun the Massacre of Jarrah’s other family, the traditional lifestyle living, Woggan-Wandong. The Woggan-Wandong had in payback, massacred most of the Fife clan. His Uncle Ian offers to be his benefactor and to protect him. Jarrah’s, Uncle Kanga is guiding Jarrah to a traditional initiation into manhood by teaching him about country, and the dreaming legends.
The demands of two families conflict with Jarrah’s own dreams for his future. He befriends Harry, and Emily. Emily is a disturbed and gifted child who creates her own inner world to escape the one her parents have made. Her troubled mind enhances her sixth sense, fae ability. Jarrah in turn, is developing his own dreaming time legend powers. Together the duo strives to end the terrible cycle of payback that has plagued the people of Fife Springs for more than a century.
The novel opens in the mid 1900’s, with the second rush of Australian settlement taking place with migration from Europe following World War 2 and the ripping apart of indigenous Australian families by a paternalistic society bent on perusing a white Australia policy.
The great grandchildren of the early colonial settlers are finding their lives are still affected by terrible payback crimes that began with the British colonisation of Australia. These crimes have continued in varied form though to today.
This is the first of a series of novels of a family saga, covering a time span of over a century. It deals with issues of intolerance, greed, racism and sexism, all just as relevant today as they were a century ago. The main characters are children and teenagers, with adults as supporting characters.

Woggan-Wandong, means The meeting of the Spirit Ghosts.
