About
I am an Australian abstract painter based in Ballarat, Victoria.Working primarily on paper and board, I embrace the versatility of acrylics and mixed media to achieve everything from subtle watercolor effects to bold textural elements. My process is intuitive and experimental. Each piece evolves organically as I layer media and respond to emerging forms. Being surprised by the end result is one of the great joys of my life.Through my art, I invite viewers to connect with the raw energy and quiet moments of nature, transforming remembered and imagined landscapes into a shared experience of the world. Sometimes, a painting will even emerge in conversation with my own writing—a line of prose or poetry that holds a particular quality of symbolism or delight.My practice has been shaped by more than a decade living near the Canadian Rockies, and a recent return to Australia — a homecoming that is quietly reorienting my work toward new terrain, both literal and emotional.A current member of the Contemporary Art Society of Victoria, I have exhibited in group shows in Australia and abroad, and was previously a member of the Society of Canadian Artists. My work is held in private collections across Australia, Canada, the UK, and France."My life involves extensive travel, allowing me to seek out inspiration and memories that eventually find their way into my art."
My studio sits on the unceded lands of the Wadawurrung and Dja Dja Wurrung Peoples.
I acknowledge their deep and enduring care for and connection to this Country—the land, the waters, and the skies—
and pay my respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.

Please note: I will be away gathering new creative inspiration throughout August and September this year,
so studio production and shipping will pause during that time.
Thank you for your patience.
Commissions
I welcome the opportunity to create custom pieces that resonate with your specific space and story.
I can't create exact replicas, but I can work in the "spirit" of my previous series,
focusing on a particular movement, palette, or "state of feeling" you have connected with.The No-Pressure Either Way promise
I want the process of collaboration to be joyful for both of us.
If we reach the end of a commission and the final piece doesn’t quite resonate with you,
there is no obligation to purchase. It simply means that particular work is waiting for a different home.
