Always interested in art, Annette has drawn and painted since she was a small child.

While a student she was twice awarded 1st Place in Portraiture, the President’s Award and 1st Place in the Peter Dorahy Memorial Drawing Award.

Annette is a Sydney based artist and a member of the Royal Art Society, as well as the Northern Beaches Art Society Inc. and Ku-ring-gai Art Society Inc.

She paints a variety of subject matter including portraits, birds, animals, landscapes, seascapes and abstracts. Her works have been selected to be exhibited in many exhibitions and she has won numerous awards.
