I am a West Australian artist based in the Perth Hills. As a new mother I spend my time with my daughter, working as a High school Art and Design teacher and drawing and painting in my home studio located in Perth Hills.
I completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts at Curtin University in 2012 with specialist knowledge in painting, drawing and photography. In 2018 I also completed my Diploma of Interior Design from Billy Blue College of Design which has further developed my decorative approach to painting and fascination with colour and colour theory.
