Favourite Beach: Bronte beach. The park and the cafe's are an added bonus.
Eatery: Swell at Bronte; Mille Ville on Crown Street for the yummiest pasta dishes ever; Who could go past the best tuna salad in town at Tropicana cafe in Darlinghurst; and good old Ravesi's for the oysters and the view.
Watering Hole: The Beresford and the Winery for feeling like you're in Italy; and for great times and intimacy you can't beat getting ten friends and drinking in someone's garden.
Sporting Team:I do lurve the tennis. Watching very good looking men grunt must be a sport in itself!
Favourite thing about your work:When a client falls in love with a painting that I've done and purchases it, it brings me a lot of satisfaction. Their appreciation and purchase of my work means that I can continue on my path as an artist developing new ideas and exploring new possibilities in my work, which brings me the greatest joy.
Weekend Activity:I like to catch up with friends, hang out with my boyfriend, read books and the paper, try out new cafes and restaurants, and if there's a party or something fun on, I like to get out of my thongs and go out lookin' fine.
