I am an Australian artist and I love using all types of media. I mostly use acrylic however I've been using oil and coloured pencil in some of my more recent works. I graduated university with a bachelor degree in Natural History Illustration at Newcastle University in 2019.
My passion for the creative arts started in 2001. I attended an after school art class while all my peers had sports training or went to dancing lessons. My Nan is my hero, without her noticing my eye for detail even at the age of seven, I wouldn't have been able to gain the artistic skills and experience over my schooling career. My art practice came to a halt in 2011 during senior year at high school. It put a pause on my art making and sent me towards a more academic pathway.
After a few years of trialling different career paths I found my way back to art making and can not stop talking about it. It is literally who I am and why I get up every morning.
In 2016, I was accepted into Natural History Illustration and I haven't looked back since!
My passion is only growing stronger and my art is always improving as I make each new piece.
