I have always loved using my hands to create. Through painting, I translate the connection between what I see in the natural environment and what I feel, both emotionally and physically.

I draw deep inspiration from the openness of my country and the landscape that surrounds me. The vast expanse of the sky, native trees and beautiful birds of Australia inform my work, allowing me to explore rich, vibrant colour and intriguing texture.

I work across canvas, paper and wood, using acrylic and oils. My approach is intuitive and rarely begins with a fixed plan. Instead, I respond to the marks I make, building multiple layers that create depth and contrast within the work.

Quite simply, painting nourishes me, and I cannot imagine my life without it!
