I love to celebrate botanical and spiritual themes in my work and produce abstract landscapes that may depict Australian native forest themes or iconography from other cultures across the globe.

Integration of symbolism is important to me, so that each piece has an individual story and especially when tailoring a piece for client homes or commercial spaces.

By using an expressionist approach to my small(ish) and large-scale paintings, I love to use a vibrant yet controlled explosion of colour on canvas, typically five to six layers in depth and texture.

The purpose of my work began as an accidental liberation from corporate life during Covid, and that lovely experiment has now turned into a full-time artistic career - selling all my pieces in my first exhibition was an enormous confidence boost. I am not sure if my fellow artists that came to life during the pandemic, if we can call ourselves a new movement “the Co-vidists” or not!

I am inspired every day by surrounding myself with local flora and being somewhat obsessed by design. Early influences include Gustav Klimt, Antoni Gaudi and the Glasgow School of Art. My logo is a nod to this influence via the use of MacIntosh typeface.

I work full time from my studio in Avalon Beach and have held several successful exhibitions in Australia and Internationally.
