Perie WhitefieldPerie Whitefield, affectionately named Pear, was raised in a small country town in the Yarra Valley. After completing a diploma of Naturopathy, she went on to complete a bachelor of Health Science in Nutritional Medicine, followed by a post graduate achelor degree in Primary and Secondary Teaching, Science and Biology. Years of knowledge under her belt soon moved her into teaching Secondary Food Studies. Perie delights in showing teenagers the art of cooking. She guides them in identifying, analysing and understanding food ingredients. Perie expresses herself through many passions at home. She loves gardening, cooking and eating (of course!), playing with clay, soaking in nature, and adopting random stray animals - a special mention to her well-loved ducks. Perie has been blessed with the skill of painting. Her work reflects the essence of colour, beauty and emotions within all of creation that surrounds her. Perie lives with her wonderful husband and son in a quaint little cottage, not far from where she grew up. A house full of cheeky grins as her husband and son pretend not to notice paint smudges on doors, walls and floors where Perie has passionately absorbed herself in her artwork. Read More Read Less
