HELLO!

I’m delighted to share a very special piece of my world with you - my art.

My zest for travel and exploring new places plays a big role in my art. I grew up in a small farming community in NSW, before living in Sydney, Paris and Brighton, UK. Now residing in the thriving country town of Orange with my French husband and toddler, Olive and baby, Clémentine, I’m on a mission to capture the personalities and celebrate the distinctive identities of regional and rural communities and showcase regional living through my art.

Colour has always been an essential element in my artwork because of its ability to evoke emotion and attavh. When you look at my paintings, I want you to feel a sense of nostalgia for the past and enjoy the humour and whimsical nature of my paintings.

In 2023 I was thrilled to be one of the finalists for the Jumbled Art Superstar awards.
