Outdoors is where I feel most at home. Growing up on a farm in South Australia we were surrounded by vast horizons, big skies, many animals and all the elements nature would throw at you.

Until recently my art practise has taken a back seat to my family and their busy lives but threaded throughout all of this time creativity has always been simmering below the surface.

As a largely self taught artist I’ve explored different styles and mediums, attending Heatherley’s School of Art, short courses at St Martin’s Central School of Art, West Dean College and taken advice, tutoring and inspiration from artist practitioners. My body of work includes digital design, works on paper and metal sculpture.

My works on paper are primarily in charcoal and mixed media. My current work with metal sculpture is inspired by the natural world especially my garden. I find the physicality of working with metal and its various tools exhilarating and fun and the challenge of interpreting the delicacy of natural forms shapes and textures into metal forms infinitely satisfying.

A lifelong love of art is now realising itself and I feel I have finally found the mediums and environment I am most at one with.
