​Artist Statement

With European ancestry, I have long been fascinated by classical mythology, pagan symbolism and the portrayal of women by (mostly) male master painters. History, anthropology, and cultural studies are a source of inspiration for me. Starting life in Tasmania, surrounded by the Australian bush, nature has deeply influenced my art and the Victorian coastline is a rich source of inspiration. There is always an expressive dance between my ancestral past and the current places I find myself in today.

​

I'm developing an intuitive, abstract, and impressionist style, focusing on capturing the beauty of a moment to convey the sensual presence of light dancing with subjects and the mood of the artwork. I use contrasting colours, textures, spaces, shapes, and forms to achieve this. I have a love for painting unique and everyday landscapes, seascapes, bodyscape and still life. Currently, my work is a conversation on eco-feminism and using the body to portray women's connecting to nature.
