Lorry Bentham
Hello all, been on a hiatus but hopefully getting back in-the-Loop.
About Me
Originally from the UK, I live in Avalon with my husband, two children and dog. I consider myself open-minded with a sense of humour, and will tackle most things put in front of me and get the job done. With the section on Awards/Achievements I have mentioned exhibition highlights only, please refer to my website for further info at www.lorry.com.au. I love painting with a passion, walking the dog, yoga, swimming and visit Contours whenever I can.
