My interest and involvement in the arts include:- painting, pencil portraits and artworks, photography, writing novels, writing poetry, short film making, jewellery design and manufacture. I also ran my own dance aerobic classes for several years. This included a 12 month stint of introducing my style of class to the S.A. Deaf Society.
With regard to painting I have been involved in many exhibitions and have launched 2 solo exhibitions the first “The Gold Collection” in 2007 at the Chambers Gallery S.A., and the most recent, “Space Sea & Fantasy” in January/February 2008 at Gallery M, Marion Cultural Centre South Australia. I am also a member of the Red House Art Group.
My early artworks are mainly acrylic on canvas and over the past couple of years I have worked with mixed media on canvas. This year, however, I have experimented with pastels, oil pastels, acrylic on glass and I have also explored various techniques with pencil on paper.
I am a keen photographer and I will be exhibiting some of my works on this site for the first time.
I founded a poetry group back in the 1980’s “Poetry in Life Society” or “PILS”. In the 90’s I was a state winner for a National Poetry competition. I am currently writing 2 novels “My Tribe” and “Roxanne – In Hindsight”.
Recently I wrote a book titled “Shades of Grey – In a Colourful World”. The book tells how I have coped with being diagnosed with cancer and how I now cope with the after effects (emotional and physical) of radical major surgery and radiation treatment.

Writers Centre and the Square Eyes Cafe Group with whom I have had 7 of my short films screened at the Marion Cultural Centre theatre during 2007 and 2008. One of my short films “The Amazing Posse Kerr” was accepted into the library of the Regency Park Special School S.A. early 2009.
I also design and make jewellery. My jewellery has travelled all over Australia and as far away as the U.S.A.
