Originally from South Australia, I’ve been living in the Kimberley with my family since 2004, first in the East Kimberley for 6 years, and in the West Kimberley since 2011.

Being an artist for me means taking the time to observe and appreciate my surroundings and the people & culture around me. I love to capture the essence of place and the happenings of ordinary life and interactions in this remote part of Australia, which you can see in my award winning painting ‘Take Me Back to Derbytown’.

I feel blessed to live in such a stunning part of this vast country of Australia which is a constant life giving inspiration for my art practice.

I acknowledge the Nyikina/Warrwa Aboriginal people as the Traditional Custodians of the land where I live and work. I also acknowledge the people of Worrora/Wunambul/Ngarinyin/Bardi/Jawi/Mangala/
Unggumi/Bunuba/Walmajarri/Kija/Gooniyandi/
Oogardang/Oomeday/Yow Jabi & Wangkatjunka nations with whom I interact. I pay my respects to their strength, cultural resilience and to their Elders.
