Biography

I'm a Melbourne based artist and I create contemporary landscapes. I have always loved painting and drawing, and I have maintained a consistent art practice over the past 10 years.

I love the Australian landscape and I take much of my inspiration from the colours and textures of this amazing country I’m privileged to call home. My work explores connections (what it means to call a place home, what it feels like to belong), and my own internal landscape.

My work captures the experience of being in a place - the sights, sounds, and feelings that it evokes. I love working with acrylics and mixed media as they help me capture the energy of that place and respond quickly when inspiration strikes.

I am currently enrolled in a Diploma of Graphic Design (2023) and continue to develop my art practice.
