Artwork Description

"I will Take You there" explores the concepts of spatiality and temporality and also the idea of perception and how this affects my view of the world. Having spent large amounts of time in different countries as a child and teenager, and returning to Australia as a young adult has led me to question both my identity and how it has been constructed. In this work, I take a look at my history and present-day experiences as a starting point to refer to painting as a practice that connects the space between my multiplicities. At the center of the painting lies the fire, light, warm and comforting to the figures. Many of my memories in Australia come from times sitting near the fire, feeling the night air and smoke and the beauty of the natural world. Leaving the time for the atmosphere to be created in this artwork was an imperative thread because it allowed a lot of intuitive ideas and feelings to resurface.

Artist Bio

I describe my work as Reflective Realms—spaces where landscape, water, and memory dissolve into one another. These realms are not fixed places but sensations: light shifting across a surface, a reflection half-seen, the feeling of being both inside and outside the scene. My paintings emerge from this in-between, where nature becomes a mirror for the inner world and the visible holds traces of the invisible.

I paint slowly, with reverence. My process involves many translucent layers of oil that build over months, like sediment or memory. There’s a stillness I try to honour—a pause long enough to feel the sun on your skin, to notice how light moves across water, to remember something you didn’t know you’d forgotten. It’s in these quiet moments that my work takes shape.

Raised between oceans and seasons—from Mexico to France, Sweden to the South Coast of Australia—my visual language is built on contrast and change. I am drawn to softness, to blurred edges, to things half-submerged. I’m not interested in capturing the landscape—I want to feel it. I want the viewer to step inside these reflective realms and find something of their own there.

My work has been exhibited in Australia and Los Angeles, and is collected internationally in France, the UK, the United States, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Canada, Dubai, and Hong Kong. This year I have been selected in an exhibition and catalog "Of Land and Longing" by Create Magazine. In 2023, I won the Bluethumb Landscape Art Prize. Earlier, I was selected by Saatchi Art’s Chief Curator as One to Watch and Artist to Invest In. I hold an MFA in Painting from Sydney College of the Arts, completed under the mentorship of Lindy Lee.
