Ros Psakis

 

FIVE TIME WINNER OF THE 'ART OF SYDNEY AWARD'
(Recently won again for the unprecendented fifth time!)

 

Ros has paintings hanging in collections both here in Australia

and overseas.

 

She is a popular demonstrator and workshop tutor with her easy to understand

method of teaching. Early training was with Gloria Ransom and Allan Fizzell.

Her continuing lessons come from Nature herself. Learning to paint is an ongoing

journey. And what a wonderful and exciting journey it is.

 

There are no shortcuts to success, no easy formulas to follow, only

dedication and a passion for what you are doing and above all else,

lots of brush mileage.
