Australia, born 1989
I am an Australian-based emerging artist with a deeply experimental approach to my practice. My work is emotionally charged and explores the unseen layers of the human experience. Drawing from surrealism and expressionism, I weave symbolic forms, textured layers, and intuitive colour into paintings that evoke mood, memory, and transformation. I believe art is a visceral language—through it, I aim to reach the quiet, often unspoken corners of the psyche.
Art has always been an extension of who I am—a visual language I use to express what words cannot. My process is fluid, instinctive, and led by curiosity. I allow each piece to unfold organically, layer by layer, embracing the unpredictability of my materials. I find beauty in imperfection and meaning in the unfinished.
Though I took a hiatus from my art career, my passion for creating never left me. I return to it now with renewed purpose and energy, continually building a body of work that explores identity, resilience, and the delicate tension between chaos and calm.
Throughout my life, I have consistently been an avid hobby artist, creating art as a means of personal expression and emotional exploration. In 2019, I began to transition into a more professional space, becoming a part-time artist and participating in local markets, including Bristow and Redcliffe. During this time, I was consistently selling work and building connections within my community.
After a short hiatus to focus on starting a family, I have re-entered the art world with renewed energy and focus. Since March 2025, I have begun actively exhibiting, selling, and building momentum in my professional practice. Some of my recent accomplishments include:
All three pieces sold at the Incognito Art Show 2025
Online finalist in the 2025 Brisbane Rotary Art Spectacular
Artwork entered in the 2025 Queen’s Wharf Brisbane Art Prize
Participation in the Strokes4Stroke charity auction
Two works accepted into the Recovered Futures Art Exhibition 2025 (Richmond Fellowship Queensland)
