Be like the ficus

Influence was drawn from the large, ficus tree trucks.
Be like the ficus tree.

With a love for nature, visiting the botanical Gardens in Melbourne has always been one of my favourite activities. The ficus tree, one of the largest trees I have ever seen has the most mesmerising trunk, staring at the smooth shapes always left me feeling calm and collected.
I aspire to be like the ficus tree, gently swaying with ever changing conditions, proudly share the delicate texture from walks of life with strong grounded presence.

Be like the ficus tree
Stay grounded.
Connect with your roots.
Turn over a new leaf.
Bend before you break.
Enjoy your unique natural beauty.
Keep growing.

Textured art inspired by nature.

Born in Melbourne Australia visiting the Royal Botanic Garden was a regular family activity. Nature always mesmerised me.

Looking back it’s always been art!
My first memory of art was in grade 1. Our class was creating paintings in a tub of water with ink droplets. We then placed paper on top of the water to preserve our colourful creation.

As I lifted my paper from the water I was beyond ecstatic when my piece resembled a rainbow paddle pop with swirls of yellows, pinks and blues all over. I couldn’t believe I made that. My creative obsession was born!

I now enjoy working with mixed media on canvas.
My creative outlets a long side art are hair dressing and yoga.
For me art is a collaboration of the two. I feel very content and grounded while creating art and intend for those who view my work to share the feeling.

I am currently working on a hanging sculpture collection full of large shapes with a minimalist twist. The inspiration was drawn from the ficus tree trunks at the Botanical Gardens, I still visit the gardens regularly to this day.

All of my pieces are original one off creations.
