About Us
  
Hi there! Coconut Cottage evolved from my life-long love of the Coconut Palm and the Tropics! I fell in love with it all when I was a teenager and started travelling the tropics with my first trip to North Queensland in 1976. For the next 6 years I travelled mainly in the South Pacific and by 1982 I was working on Dunk Island and living my dream. After 2 years there I moved just across to Mission Beach where I still am today!
 
In 1986 I began working on boats cruising to the Great Barrier Reef and the beautiful islands in this area. I started as Hostess, then Deckhand and eventually became a Skipper which I still am. The colours and scenes out there were incredibly inspiring to me and I would tell the tourists in my reef commentary that I was going to learn to paint one day so I could put all this beauty down on canvas!
 
I have been painting now for around 8 years and am just starting to get the scenes that I have wanted to do for so long down on canvas. I was absolutely thrilled last year to have my work recognised by Artists' Palette Magazine in Issue 88 where my Brammo Bay Boathouse painting appeared on the front cover. I was also featured again extensively in a 4 page "Insight" article entitled "Island Lady" in Issue 92 followed by a 3 page demonstration painting which I did for the magazine. See below!
 
Coconut Cottage is first and foremost a place to display my art for those who want to look, hopefully enjoy and maybe purchase. The store is also a place for you to browse and maybe purchase some "Treasures from the Tropics" that I have sourced throughout the tropics both to adorn yourself and/or your living and entertaining space! Thank-you very much for visiting, enjoy your stay and please come again!
