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 have always loved art and the creative process and I am enjoying the opportunity to grow into it more every day. I have enjoyed experimenting with different art mediums such as etching, linocut printing, eco dyeing, gelli plate printing, watercolour, acrylic & oil paints. The common theme that runs through my work is the people & nature of the Kimberley.

Oogardang/Oomeday/Yow Jabi & Wangkatjunka nations with whom I interact. I pay my respects to their strength, cultural resilience and to their Elders.
