INTRODUCTION
I came to Australia on a holiday for Christmas 2000 and
met my husband Julian. I have renovated three homes in the Noosa,
Queensland area. Completed Certificate IV in Assessment and
Workplace Training at TAFE Sunshine Coast. In 2003 designed
a house now complete at Wooloweyah Lake near Yamba in The Northern
Rivers area of NSW. It is three hours drive to Brisbane and
six to Sydney. Working at present on computer generated hard
copy collages for an exhibition in Yamba at the Arthouse Australia
gallery. I have five cats a dog and a recent addition Eric the
green scaly breasted lorikeet.
Most of my career has been as a Scenic Artist, a brief
description of the skills needed are as follows:
Scenic Artists are required to create various imagery on
the canvas or solid cyclorama of the studio sound stages. Also
to work to scale in the areas of cut outs (usually framed hard
board or
plywood) and perspective sets. The painting of skies usually
with compressor and spray gun. City and landscapes or reproducing
other artists masterpieces are all in a days work. The ability
to design imagery from the production designers ideas is essential
and often designing sets from scratch. The art of painting on
glass to create matts for sets, making scaled models, illustration
and story boarding come under the hat of Scenic Artist. More
recently computer skills and knowledge of Computer Generated
Images (CGI) is also required. |
