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.
