I am an arts practitioner based in Wagga Wagga. I hold a BA (Visual) (Printmedia & Drawing) from ANU School of Art, a BA (Honours) (Communications and Creative Industries) from CSU and I am in my final year studying toward a Masters of Therapeutic Arts at The MIECAT Institute.

My practice brings together a passion for printmaking and community engagement. In my practice I strive to connect through accessible programs, developing and fostering creative communication and well-being. Recent projects include:

– The Multicultural Woman’s Art Group, a partnership with Startts NSW and Create Hub Riverina.

– Development and facilitation of the Young at HeART program at Wagga Wagga Art Gallery, a space for new parents to explore play based creative activities.

– Printmaking tutor for RegenerART, Art for Mental Healing in communities impacted during the Black Summer bushfires. Facilitated by Tumut Art Society.

– Pandemic Print Exchange (PPE), bringing together 38 artists working in isolation across Australia and Internationally during the 2020 global Covid-19 pandemic.

– I currently work as a Studio Assistant/ Mentor at The Art Factory Supported Studio.

My practice moves beyond traditional printmaking, and incorporates a broad range of drawing and printmaking techniques, oil painting and small sculpture. Moving freely between these modes of creativity provides a platform to document the ephemeral nature of growth and decay and the vital role of regeneration in our environment. My work is a continuing exploration into organic objects, both tangible and imaginative and I am intrigued with found object often forgotten, overlooked and decaying. My work explores and reflects the vast possibilities our natural environment has to offer.
