'Lilith', 2021

'Lilith', painted in 2021, is a celebration of the feminine . The strong female figures represent the bonds of sisterhood and the evolution of those bonds into adulthood. Each figure inhabits a sense of confidence in her own feminine power, confronting the viewer with her gaze and taking up her own space within the artwork.

This piece was Inspired by the ancient mythical story of 'Lilith', Adam's first wife who was vilified in history for disobeying her husband and refusing to lay 'beneath' him. In modern society, 'Lilith' serves as a feminist icon who is celebrated for her strength, power and refusal to bow down to societal expectations.

The women in this piece have an unwavering confidence, and a determination to carve out a life for themselves that is abundant, colourful, and completely unapologetic.

I am a visual artist currently living in the South West region of WA.I create figurative paintings that incorporate the abstract principals of materiality and expressionism. Exploring the experience of womanhood through an autobiographical lens, my work examines societal representations and symbolism that have become emblematic of femininity.

Inspired by fellow Australian artists such as Vali Meyers and Del Katherine Barton, I love to create large scale pieces full of dense imagery, often juxtaposing different patterns and colours against each other in order to create lush visual scenes full of vibrancy and detail. The woman in my painting's are always the main character, emoting a sense of strength and holding the viewers gaze.

I started my career completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in Sculpture in 2016 at RMIT university, and have since exhibited at a range of galleries in both Melbourne and Perth, including my first solo exhibition at Forty Five Downstairs in Melbourne. In 2019 I co founded Old Coast Studio, a sculpture studio in WA focused on metal based work. I now focus on selling my work directly to buyers as well as working on commissioned projects.
