working every day

I am a multi-award winning artist working daily out of my studio in country Tasmania.

 

My arts experience is mainly self taught whilst choosing various workshops that feel right for me.  I work across media in painting, collage, assemblage, textiles, printmaking, poetry, artist books and photography.  These include oils, acrylics, water media, mixed media, digital.  My interests lie in abstraction and I am highly experimental immersed in process-based outcomes and research.

​​

find me and my work, blogs, poetry & SHOP here.  YES that's my studio >>>>>>
