I am a Sydney-based emerging artist, living and working on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. My practice reflects both my upbringing and environment, where bushland meets the ocean and the landscape shifts constantly in colour, texture, and light.

I work instinctively and often with speed, preferring to follow intuition rather than plan. Mixing my own colours is central to my process. I search for tones that feel alive, surprising, or slightly unsettled, then apply them in broad, fluid strokes that capture movement and atmosphere. In this way, the painting unfolds as much through physical energy as through considered thought.

My work often blurs the line between reality and dream. I am less interested in literal depictions than in holding onto the essence of a place, a story, or a moment in time. I aim to create images that feel familiar yet altered, echoing how memory reshapes experience.

After losing my father to dementia, painting became both a refuge and an act of preservation. It allows me to process loss while keeping hold of the connections, stories, and sensations that resist permanence. Each canvas becomes a synthesis of nature and imagination, memory and emotion, where painting becomes a way to hold onto what might otherwise slip away.
