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 in this remote part of Australia, which you can see in my painting 'Take Me Back to Derbytown', winner of the overall prize at the 2024 Kimberley Art Prize.

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. This connection to place led to my first solo exhibition at Redbill Studio Gallery in Broome, Western Australia, winning the painting category at the 2026 Shinju Matsuri Art Awards with my painting ‘Crab Catch’ and most recently being selected as a finalist for the National Emerging Art Prize 2026.

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.
