The mother of three is the latest artist to undertake a residency under the Regional Artist Development (RAD) Residency Program at the Wagga Art Gallery.
Her paintings depict the local landscapes and small moments of natural beauty that surround her in daily life, showing her she doesn't have to travel far to find something she can appreciate.
"[Painting] brings the calm into the chaos, it brings you into the present and settles you down," she said.
"It makes you reflect, and I like the way that painting can capture a time and place.
