Hello

I am a mixed media artist inspired by the natural environment surrounding my home in the Perth Hills. My practice begins with a kind of quiet noticing — pausing to look closely at textures, plants, and flowers around me. I often draw or photograph these details, building a collection of images alongside folders of vintage botanical illustrations and found images that are kept on standby, ready to be used in my work.

​

From these gathered fragments, I create layered compositions that combine drawing, painting, printmaking and collage. I love the interplay and impact of colour and pattern, and the way each medium can bring something different to an image. My process is one of assembling and transforming — bringing together what I’ve collected, then adding further layers until something new emerges.

​

At its heart, my work about being present in the moment and finding beauty in the details of everyday life.  It is an invitation to slow down and pause long enough to notice the quiet beauty of the natural world, to see in it both richness and fragility

​

As well as working on my own artwork I also offer book cover illustration and welcome commissions and collaborations — I love working with others to bring creative ideas to life.
