Art has always been a big part of my life, going to art school straight out of secondary school, painting many murals and working as a primary school art teacher since 2003. Since recognising the importance of a creative practice in my life I have enjoyed drawing and painting and hope to continue this into the future.

Painting and drawing is my way of processing and celebrating my immediate surroundings and experiences. I am constantly observing and rejoicing in those moments when for example the glow of the late afternoon sun hits the side of person’s face lost in quiet reflection. I am interested in capturing beautiful, intimate and gentle human experiences through the interplay of light, shadow and colour. Ultimately I want the viewer to respond emotionally to my artworks and for that feeling to quietly linger.
