I painted as a child, and art was a big influence in our old farm house in Markwell Bulahdelah. During my high school years,
when Uncle Gordon Syron when released from prison, he  lived with us in his little caravan for close to 4 years. During that time we would watch him paint and when we could go down to Sydney for his Art shows.

Later in 1999 I was painting Bulahdelah Mountain, when Nana Syron passed away, I have been painting ever since.
2012 to 2020 we lived in Berridale  NSW and I set up an art gallery, I become beloved for my Snowy Mountain themes. This was Ngarigo land, and it was a time for me to navigate living and painting respectfully away from Worimi Country. The snow has always held great reverence for me, dad was born in Gloucester during the winter, and we would drive up to the Barrington Tops, Gurringai Country, a place of snow. As a child, first time seeing snow I was fascinated that my ancestors lived up in the mountains, especially during winter. 

I see myself as a mountain woman of the Guringai and as a salt water woman, of the Biripi & Worimi nations. It is fitting that I live and paint on the Karuah river, a beautiful 100 km river that begins her life on southern slopes of the Gloucester Tops and gaining strength with eleven tributaries joining her , before reaching the bay of Port Stephens.
Today I have a small Art studio overlooking the river, and enjoy painting the patterns and images of nature.
