The subjects I paint are the ones that make me stop and look twice—a curious cockatoo, a gathering of native blooms, the graceful curve of a eucalyptus branch or the joyful abundance of fruit in full colour. My paintings are a celebration of nature's beauty and the quiet moments that so often go unnoticed.
Painting has been woven through every stage of my life. Growing up in the Blue Mountains nurtured a lifelong appreciation for Australia's remarkable birds, botanicals and landscapes, while a background in Graphic Design and Photography refined my eye for colour, composition and storytelling. Although I've explored many creative paths, I've always found myself happiest with a paintbrush in hand.
Working across both realistic and expressive styles, I paint primarily in acrylic on canvas, allowing each subject to evolve in its own way. Whether carefully detailed or loosely interpreted, my work is inspired by a desire to capture not only what I see, but what I feel—a sense of wonder, joy and connection to the natural world.
Today I paint from my home studio in Sydney's northern beaches, where every piece begins with curiosity and a love of colour. Every painting is an invitation to pause, smile and reconnect with the beauty that surrounds us.
