About me
Hello, I am an artist living in Brisbane, Australia, working in watercolour and oil painting, printmaking and drawing. I have completed a Bachelor of Fine Art from Queensland College of Art and have also studied Visual Arts at Melbourne University and RMIT.
About my work
My many visual art practices are inspired by a close observation and deep connection to objects, fabrics, natural forms, and the mystery of the human condition. I am interested in, 'pulling forward', components of my compositions using colour and visual gestural marks, so that there is a different emphasis or an unconscious, meditative outcome in the imagery.
