About Me

I have loved working with colours since I can remember, however it wasn’t until I was 15 years old that I discovered I had only had around 15% vision. Up until that point I knew no different and had assumed everyone saw life through a filtered lens like I did.

When my vision was corrected, the world was magnified with colour, contrast and sharpness I hadn’t seen before. I was able to appreciate everything from an entirely new perspective. This ignited my passion for art and an inspiration to capture energy, light and movement within my work. I pushed aside working in just pencil and black and white, for bright and colourful oil paints.

What I didn’t know was that the inability to see clearly was also a gift that gave me the opportunity to develop strong observational skills. Skills that allowed me to observe and understand body language in a different way to others, which I had perfected because I couldn’t always see facial expressions.

Growing up in the country, I was always around horses and farm animals and have an affinity to the Australian landscape and a passion to engage with people and their stories. My favourite thing is to help others turn their memories or experiences into unique pieces of artwork to help tell their story.
