Noela lives in the small, picturesque country town of Kilcoy, Queensland, which is rich in culture and history. A descendant of five pioneering families, I am very involved in our local Historical Society, being the research and publishing officer with 15 major local books successfully published to date, from 1992 to 2013, along with the Kilcoy History Trail establishment. This brings about my aspiration to paint local and historical scenes, combining my interests of history and art. Having painted since 1994 and very busy with work, family and other hobbies, I concentrate on painting in oils, have exhibited with success at district shows and my work can be viewed at local venues.
