Art is part of who I am and how I process and explore the world.

My practice is primarily in oil paint .  My work explores and uses the materiality of oil paint to capture moments and experiences – nature, memories, moments - children playing, pets running, leaves falling, oceans heaving, coral dancing, sandcastles falling, star gazing. Further to this, I also seek to capture the visceral connections and emotional responses we have in those experiences and moments, the peace, anxiety, fear, confusion and intrigue.  In this respect my work presently ranges from, impressionist, expressionist to abstract and can be bright, intense, vibrant, dark - but always textured.

My family, my two young children, my pets are where I find my inspiration. The colour, joy, tears, fears, mess, the play, the adventure, the frustrations are all part of every hour of every day. My children and I are very active, loving the outdoors, the beaches, the bush, the earth and forests. Living in Western Australia, we are so fortunate to have all these at our doorstep and immerse ourselves in them as often as we can.

While I primarily work in oil paints I do also enjoy playing with other mediums, particularly charcoal and oil pastels, creating playful works of my children’s leftover fruit – waste not want not!

While I am openly still developing and fine tuning my processes as I complete my tertiary studies in Fine Art, I have been fortunate in selling commissioned artworks, exhibiting in Western Australia and selling work throughout Australia.
