I'm a city-based person seeking connection with land and natural systems. A forager, fiddler, experimenter, I pursue a tactile, process-led practice, feeling my way towards new forms and ideas. 

 

Drawing, painting, printmaking, playing with plant fibre and other found materials, I work with whatever catches my eye, exploring ways to interact with my surroundings. My focus tends to be on place: landscape and cityscape, domestic and public, familiar and foreign, internal and external. I fill sketchbooks on my travels around Australia and further afield.

 

I’m intrigued by the way we project our desires onto the physical world, and how the world pushes back - affecting our bodies and our moods, attracting or repelling, sustaining and destroying. I ponder being 'a part of nature yet apart from nature'.

 

My earlier professional life as a publisher of books for young people, working closely with authors and artists, fuelled my interest in the power of images to stir emotions, evoke place, and enrich narrative.
