I had taken out actions against newspapers who had trashed my name due to my stage acts. He was the reality of Errol Flynn; he looked like him and carried on like him. She was a physiotherapist, and she was a Lieutenant and he started out as a Captain at 30 years of age. I worked as a clerk for a solicitor, … Thomas, who employed girls.

Then when I went to Wesley Penberthy who I modelled for when I first went down to University as an artist’s model. There’s a lot of stories about my father being shot through both knees and telling the stretcher bearers to carry him forward, not to hospital.

Where did you grow up?

For the first five years I lived in Melbourne. Hold on… we’re putting a bit of skin tone on this painting at this point because we want to move this painting around at this point… it’s getting exciting now… so I know more about what happens to colour then anyone other then scientists in doing this… I never leave home now, I’m too busy doing this…unless it’s the opera.

What’s your favourite opera?

I’m a Siegfried girl… so Wagner.

If you have a look at that DVD now available you’ll see…

How long have you been going on stage?

I feel like I’m always on stage; ‘All the world’s my stage’, and everywhere I went I took myself and my abilities and packed bags.

So you have been overseas a fair bit?

I have, especially in the past, and I do hope these travel days will come again.

It was probably all for the best though in light of what has developed with 4D.

What did you do when you graduated?

Well, I haven’t graduated. Opera Houses and Galleries.

I’ve known Gretel Pinniger for many years. Gretel Pinniger, the woman behind the persona, is now 58 and has moved on to other creations, including the '4D' painting concept she is pioneering.

Pinniger's contribution to the national social fabric has been undervalued, according to film-maker Byron Brimstone, who has been documenting her work.

'I think we're not very good in Australia at appreciating our eccentrics,' he says. I rang him up and was invited to come and stay with him and learn the Leonardo technique. I’ve painted a number of Mona Lisa’s and it’s pretty uncanny how they appear. For me this is so exhilarating, blissful and such Fun, my dedicated wish is to share my views with as many people as possible.

I look to the example of the Greatest Masters of Art and Music to find what I seek to bring to the practise of Art.

In company with them, I am concerned with only the most exalted subjects – Religious and Spiritual themes and Portraits of only the most highly vibrational individuals, usually themselves Musicians and Artists of all kinds and other people I admire as being well advanced on the path to human enlightenment. The National Gallery school down in Melbourne always claims I was a student there but I never got there because I was swept into the world of artists and modelling, wild bohemians and parties.

What’s one got to do with the other?”
We were living in Parramatta by then, my mum was working as a physiotherapist, and she had this nun from the Sisters of Mercy there at that stage…

Did she revert to her maiden name?

Oh no, she never looked at another man. My father had jumped from Victoria to New South Wales because he’d heard they were going earlier and my mum was in the first contingent as well.
