I pay my respects and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Country in which we live and work, the Brataualung people of Gunaikurnai Country.

I was born in Australia and I currently live and work in South Gippsland / Gunaikurnai Country.   I use drawing and textiles in my art practice. The immediacy and tactility of these processes is meditative. I reflect on my life’s experiences for subject matter and I hope to form a connection with and evoke pathos with in my audience.
