Biography
Del is a painter of environments and her varied works display a strong  reverence for the individual and/or the place. She is fascinated by the beauty to be found in the attitudes of the human body, and the way these can portray both movement and psychological states.

In both her "streetscapes" and her "bushscapes" rhythm and harmony play an important role, as does the light - clear or filtered. These are not tonal paintings as Del looks around with her eyes wide open, and asks the viewer to do the same - to wander through her paintings and appreciate the facets of life portrayed and the harmonious relationships. Some works use the "in-field" approach where the viewer is placed right in the picture.

Del has works in private collections in Australia, England and the U.S.A., and exhibits in various exhibitions. Her works have earned commendations and awards. Del travels frequently - during a stay in England she studied life-drawing and exhibited with the "Southsea Painters". A stint in France provided material for a series of paintings of Montmartre, and whilst sailing the Mediterranean Del selected subjects from the Greek Islands.

However, the enchantment to be found in Australia's gorges is perhaps her favourite subject matter, and in the diverse cafe areas around Melbourne, when people are grouped together, she finds a similar beauty.
