In a world dominated by concrete, computers and ceaseless notifications, my art aims to reconnect us with our natural environment. My paintings capture the vitality, strength and expansiveness of natural elements ranging from large to small. They seek to emulate the restorative beauty of Queensland landscapes and natural forms.
Driven by experimentation, my work ranges from realism to abstract post-impressionism. I am influenced by my natural environment, street art, the expressive creativity of my young child, and Post-Impressionist artists like Vincent Van Gogh.
I was educated at Griffith University's Queensland College of Art and Design and have exhibited my work across Australia. I was recognised as a finalist in the Feel Good Art Prize and the Brain Art and Writing Competition. I was named Reader's Choice in the Big Day Art Award and a Homiens Promoted Artist.
Noting the strong link between arts and health, I seek to give back to my community through causes like the Incognito Art Show and the Recovered Futures Exhibition by Richmond Fellowship Queensland. I aim to inspire people to find their inherent creativity, and was proud to mentor a young community member in drawing foundations for the Duke of Edinburgh Award last year.
