I am a self-taught Australian artist whose practice centres on the inner world of human experience. Without formal training, I found my way to mark-making intuitively — drawn to the meditative rhythm of layered gesture and the quiet language of colour. For me, making art has always been about reaching across the space between people; an attempt to give form to feelings that are difficult to name, in the hope that others might see something of themselves in the work. I am interested in what we share beneath the surface — the emotional undercurrents that connect us even in solitude. My works are slow, considered, and built over time, much like the inner states they seek to reflect.
