My primary body of work involves vibrant digital illustration and mixed-media composition, frequently evoking a whimsical Pop Art or Naïf aesthetic.
All my life I have been inspired by the colours, light, and patterns present in the everyday world. From the earliest age I was encouraged and influenced by my mother, grandmother, and sister - remarkable women and artists in their own right, who utilised such diverse mediums as patchwork, photography, and poetry.
From my particular vantage point in the Adelaide Hills, where I live with my family amidst a bountiful garden that overlooks the Sturt Gorge, I am endlessly awed by nature in its infinite beauty, complexity, diversity, and frailty. With the breathtaking Australian landscape literally on my doorstep, the natural world serves as a boundless source of inspiration, both creative and philosophical.
I approach art as a uniquely fulfilling pursuit into which I can channel both my creativity and my interests in politics, social justice, environmentalism, and conservation. I savour the opportunity to explore a wide range of mediums including pencil drawing, watercolour, acrylic paint on canvas, photography, and new and exciting digital art platforms - and my artwork frequently combines them all!
