I’m a contemporary abstract artist based in Melbourne, creating nature-inspired paintings that bring joy, calm and a sense of sanctuary into the home.
Working with layered acrylics, expressive mark-making and luminous colour, I’m inspired by blossoms, coastal light and the changing seasons. My paintings celebrate movement, texture and the beauty of the natural world, creating pieces that feel both uplifting and timeless.
Art has been a part of my life for many years. I first studied art in Year 12 and continued to return to it over the years whenever time permitted, alongside my professional career.
Before developing Long Covid, I worked as a Psychologist, author of Finding Your Well-Being, meditation teacher and corporate wellbeing coach. That background continues to shape the way I think about colour, emotion and the environments we create, bringing an added depth and intention to my work.
After developing Long Covid, my path shifted significantly and my creative practice took on new meaning. Art became an important way of reconnecting with joy, slowing down and noticing beauty in everyday moments.
Living with Long Covid means my capacity and energy fluctuate considerably, so I create when my health allows, carefully pacing my creative activity around periods of rest and recovery. I no longer practise as a Psychologist, and today I focus my available creative energy on making artwork that people genuinely love living with. My art also provides a way for me to deepen my mindfulness practice, connect with the present moment and nurture my own sense of well-being.
A small number of my works are held in private collections across Australia, and I hope each painting brings warmth, light and a sense of calm to the space it calls home.
