About

I’m a Tasmanian artist passionate about painting, creating calm, inspiring works featuring plants and abstracts. Guided by nature, curiosity, and eco-friendly values, my art reflects the beauty of flowers and the ocean. For me, art is a meaningful connection that grounds us and reveals everyday beauty.

After 17 years immersed in the vibrant energy of London, my husband and I are embracing a new adventure, returning to the breathtaking landscapes of Tasmania. We're currently in the exciting "in-between" stage, navigating this transition while I pour fresh ideas into new work and refine my online presence.

My latest canvas collection, 'Over Salt and Sea,' deeply explores the psychological and physical effects the ocean has on us. It's directly inspired by those exhilarating moments of a bracing cold ocean dip and the unique state of mind that follows. The collection, featuring seascapes with a subtle hint of neon pink in the distance, vividly captures the feeling of shedding city life for coastal holidays and revitalising swims – the very rituals I live by when escaping urban life. You can now see this collection on show at Glasshouse Contemporary in London.

No matter where I am in the world, I find joy and fuel my creative energy through visiting art galleries, the meditative rhythm of embroidery, invigorating runs in the countryside, the calming practice of yoga and cherishing quality time with loved ones. These passions are all threads woven into the fabric of my artistic life, keeping my creativity flowing.
