Darlene exhibited in her local community at the Bramble Place Café and showcased a range of botanical pieces in both watercolour, acrylic and oil paint.

Darlene’s style is photorealistic and her 2016 'Modern Reflections' exhibition showcased portraits of the feminine form. Her large and sometimes confronting pieces of art work, display the strength, beauty and sensuality of the 21st Century woman.

Darlene was offered a chance to show a collection of seascapes and shell paintings at Mr Henderson Beer and Wine Bar in 2017. Her inspiration was the suburb in which she lives, Sandgate on Moreton Bay, Queensland.
