Creating abstracts inspired by the organic environment and my inner spiritual landscape, results in works that incorporate atmospheric colour tones that are deposited into paintings in beautifully arranged, shapely segments. With a strong connection to the divine, and a deep appreciation for nature’s seasonal life cycles, my works explore these concepts primarily through colour selection, layering and mark making.

I was born in Hobart and raised in Melbourne, and I grew up in a deeply creative family. I spent much of my childhood drawing, sewing and constructing things by hand. During secondary school, I consistently took art as a course subject and was eventually selected into today’s equivalent of Top Arts. Later, I acquired a Bachelor of Education in visual arts at Melbourne University where I studied textiles, garment construction, printmaking and photography.

After completing my qualification, I worked as a teacher for several years in the UK before returning to Australia. Since then, I have enjoyed an extensive career in Victoria’s education sector, and currently teaches art and visual design to upper secondary students.

My works have exhibited around Australia, and I have produced numerous commissions for public spaces and private collectors.
