About

It is through colour, texture and experimentation that my arts practice evolves. I have a voracious love of paint and experimentation that motivates my work. Influenced by my family life and surrounds, my recent works explore the links between the human condition and nature, our ability to survive and flourish. I look to bring attention to the natural world through a discovery of place and a sustainable future full of family tradition and ancestral memory.

 

My formal arts training began in 1991 where I studied at Deakin University Fine Arts, with a major in painting. I have since completed an Associate Diploma in Engineering, Jewellery and silversmith and a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. I have worked within the education sector, both secondary and vocational for the past 15 years and have a passion for teaching arts, critical thinking and exploration.
