Born in Camperdown NSW, I spent my childhood exploring the vast landscapes of Australia, moving through various states, and eventually settling in remote outback regions of South Australia, Queensland and NSW.  With no television to distract me, I immersed myself in the wonders of nature, using my vivid imagination to draw, paint, take photos with my dad’s box brownie camera and create clay sculptures from the red earth.
​My artistic talents were nurtured by my partners: my mother Constance a watercolour painter and landscape artist and my father, Leonard a lover of doodling and sketching cartoon characters.  Their influence, combined with the guidance of my high school Art Teacher, Mrs Duggan, fuelled my passion for art and set me on a path of creative exploration.
Throughout my artistic journey, I have dabbled in various mediums, from painting and ceramics to photography.  Drawing inspiration from my surroundings and the teachings of esteemed artist and mentors, infusing these elements into all aspects of my art, especially my painting.
My artistic education has taken me to esteemed institutions such as the East Sydney Art School (now known as the National Art School) and under the tutelage of renowned artists.
Located in the Central Coast I have had the privilege of showcasing my artworks to a global audience, with pieces resonating with art lovers across the world.  I find immerse joy capturing the essence of colour, light, reflections, drawing inspiration from the boundless beauty of nature that surrounds me.
Throughout my career, I have had the honour of being a guest speaker at prestigious universities, a tutor at the Temora Aviation Museum, and an ambassador at the Sydney Institute.  These experiences have enriched my artistic vision and allowed me to connect with fellow creators and art enthusiasts on a deeper level.
With over two decades of experiences in advertising photography and 5 years in the film and music industry, I have had the privilege of working with diverse creative minds and honing my craft in various artistic disciplines.
As a multimedia artist, oil painting, ceramicist, and fine arts photographer, I am excited to continue pushing the boundaries of my creativity and sharing my passion for art with the world.  Stay tuned for updates on my latest projects, exhibitions and collaboration that celebrate the beauty of art in all its forms.

In the words of Claude Monet, “The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration”.  I strive to embody this sentiment in every brushstroke and photograph, aiming to evoke emotions and stir the soul through my art.
