ABOUT ME

My studio is located in the inspiring Fleurieu Arthouse in McLaren Vale. It is here I develop my mixed media arts and teach art classes.

I am influenced by my childhood growing up in country South Australia surrounded by farmland, natural bushland, rugged coast and peaceful beaches. Having worked and lived in remote South Australia on the APY lands and rural settings on Eyre and Yorke Peninsulas throughout my life my artwork gives voice to the interwoven themes of community, history and connection to the natural environment.

We are more of who we are because of the connections we have made.

My Arts Practice

My art practice is a way of seeing life, a means of self-care, reflection and healing. Nothing makes me feel better than to walk in natural bushland or the beach and sketch my surroundings!

I share the essence of wonder and connection with nature through artworks featuring native flora and birds, created with natural eco dyes I distill from plants, wild clays and earth pigments, combined with mixed media. I make jewellery and mosaic, play with textiles and love exploring techniques.

My art practice reflects my deep respect for the natural environment and Aboriginal people as the First People and a shared custodianship.

I explore the social context in which we live, the long history of those who have lived here before and will live here after me.

Mixed Media

A combination of acrylics, drawing materials, oil paints, textiles, papers and found objects.

Relief

Hand cut relief prints, inked and printed to create embellished artworks, cards and wrapping paper.

Mosaic

Composed of collected, reclaimed leadlight glass, crockery and ceramic and glass tiles.

Jewellery

My metal smithing and lapidary is inspired by my Dad’s passion to cut and set collected gemstones.
