Welcome! I’m an artist based in the peaceful rural landscape of Biripi Country, the mid north coast of NSW, Australia.

My life is blessedly simple, I create art and volunteer in wildlife rescue.

The soul of this place and all of its creatures inspire everything I make.

Glad you're here!

Artist Statement

This website is a portfolio of my creative practice. It features only recent work, from 2022 onwards, marking the dramatic shift in my life as I moved from suburban Sydney to a large rural property.

​​

Since moving I've discovered new impetus to create, inspired by the rich sensory input of trees, wildlife, and close proximity to the ocean. Always fascinated by biomorphism I have been researching into the works of early women artists such as Emma Kunz, Agnes Pelton, Hilma af Klint, and Georgiana Houghton - artists whose work explored the creative force of the unconscious and spirit realms.

​​

Constantly influenced by my 35-year career in dance and community arts, my creative process is anchored in automatism which is a making approach that embraces spontaneity, unfiltered expression and a connection to the subconscious mind.  I embrace multiple mediums, but drawing is at the centre of my explorations. I create pieces that allude to a sense of the ineffable and these works serve as personal amulets; my longing to connect to the unseen and supernal.
