Although I grew up on a farm near Naracoorte in the south east of South Australia, my working life was centred in various cities interstate and overseas, then for many years in Adelaide. After working in teaching and a variety of public administration and political positions, my love of rural life drew me to retire in Yankalilla.
On the Fleurieu Peninsula, I have been involved in developing an arts festival, now Festival Fleurieu, and literary events through the Books & Words Group. Believing in the value that the arts add to individuals, the community and the economy, I consider it essential to nurture creativity and make the arts available and accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.
With a recent focus on writing, I have championed local artists by telling their life stories. A commissioned biography on the late Sydney artist Elaine Haxton, being published by Wakefield Press, will be released in early 2021.
My newest book, Thinking on Paper, is a collection of the monthly opinion pieces I was invited to write for The Times, Victor Harbor.
I am married to artist, Peter Fitzgerald.
