The Innaloo artist has been painting and has exhibited her work for about 25 years and joined the pastel group 18 years ago.

“I’m hooked with those because they are a dry medium; you can keep painting without waiting for them to dry,” she said.
The free exhibition at Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club will be open from 9am to 5pm on August 18 and 19.
The opening night is Friday, August 17 from 7pm to 9pm.
Several artists will do demonstrations through the weekend.
The Pastel Society of WA has more than 100 members, who meet every Monday from 7.30pm to 9.30pm at Mildenhall in Duncraig and on Tuesday afternoons at Atwell Gallery.
