An Australian mixed media artist whose work is deeply rooted in the whimsical beauty of nature. Drawing inspiration from personal experiences in the Australian landscape, creating vibrant, layered artworks that celebrate the intricate textures and colours found in the natural world.
Utilising a variety of materials- such as paper, fabric, found objects, and acrylics- pieces are crafted that evoke a sense of playfulness and wonder. The creative process is intuitive, allowing each artwork to unfold organically and reflect the spontaneity inherent in nature itself.
Beyond creating, sharing the joy of art with others is a passion. Actively participating in exhibitions, art events, and workshops, and also offering classes that explore themes of Australian nature through creative expression. These experiences not only enrich this practice but also foster a sense of community and connection among fellow art enthusiasts.
Through this art, viewers are invited to pause, reflect, and rediscover the magic in the world around them.
