I have been painting for twenty years — first quietly, as a private practice, and now with the intention of sharing that joy with others.
I am a Melbourne-based artist working in acrylic, and my paintings are explorations of joy, colour and the things I love — birds, flowers, botanicals and the hidden geometry I find everywhere in the natural world.
My work brings together two things: the expressive abstract world of colour and mark-making, and the observed, loved creatures and objects from my daily life. A spotted pardalote in the garden. A magnolia in bloom. The loops and forms that repeat across nature.
Every painting is one of a kind, made in my Melbourne studio — for people who want to feel something when they walk into a room.
