I am an artist living in rural Australia who loves to tell stories in my artworks. Stories that define us and our links to the environment. Stories that are fun, quirky and thought or conversation provoking.
My passion for art led me to complete formal studies through Curtin University where I obtained a degree in Fine Arts & Visual Culture.
My artwork style is realistic often with a touch of surrealism, mostly using oils on canvas or linen. I love colours, people and places using them to capture stories and emotions that are often unexpected. My art is informed by my local surroundings, my love of dancing and how we are linked to the land we live in. I love the Australian landscape, the way dance movement can mimic nature and the visual language that expresses these combinations.
My artworks are unique one of a kind pieces for people appreciate fine art.
Artworks are held in private collections nationally and internationally.
Artists that inspire me include Leonardo da Vinci, Dorothea Tanning and Salvador Dali to name a few.
