I am a technical painter who lives to study, explore and revel in the play of light on surfaces and the materiality of life. My work usually contains subtle whisperings about the nature of human relationships, feminism, the environment and spirituality. I do not limit my choices in subject matter by routinely operating within a conventional genre. I enjoy the freedom to select subjects that express symbolic intent. I adopt mythological narratives, floriography, ethnobotany, and Australiana in my exploration of self and society.

In my most recent works, I painted potent feminist symbolism with sharp precision in response to personal and global events. My work is finely honed like the point of a disciplined scalpel assiduously excising the roots of misogyny from our subconsciousness. My art is the vibrant antidote to a too-grey world drenched in the chromophobia of our decrepit patriarchy. Join me in celebrating the colourful, elegant, selfless, strong and vibrant women in our lives. Apply your own symbology and memories to my imagery and feel connected and seen. Our stories are our strength.

I was born in Sydney and have spent much of my adult life living in Bathurst, Central Coast and Canberra. I returned to Sydney to sink my roots deep, a little over 10 years ago.

I am an accomplished artist with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the National Art School graduating in the noughties. I have further developed my practice with a short course with Elizabeth Cummings and another with Michelle Hiscock. I have worked, studied and taught closely alongside artist Christina Parris since the age of 10. In addition to being an artist, I am a mother, a teacher, an upholsterer, and a furniture maker. I approach my artistic practice with a purposeful delight in the act of making and sharing beautiful, tactile, pleasurable and poignant experiences.
