She completed a Bachelor of Science with Honours at The University of Melbourne, majoring in Botany. She held a number of research positions in Plant Science and, while working, completed her Master of Science degree. Throughout these years she continued drawing & painting.

In 2006 she joined the Glen Eira Cheltenham Art Group (GECAG), where she took watercolour classes with Margaret Gurney, Craig Penny & Maxine Wade. She has attended many workshops, most recently with Alvaro Castagnet & several online with Fabio Cembranelli.
