I am an artist living and working from my home studio outside of Boonah, on the beautiful country of the Jagera and Ugarapul peoples, in the Scenic Rim region of South East Queensland. My work is an exploration into visually representing memories and experiences of place, assigning shapes, colours, and patterns to moments of connection and wonder. I am interested in how these fragments emerge in my work as formal arrangements or imaginary landscapes. Through the processes of gathering, observing, and re-imagining, I work in collage, assemblage and paint to create rich, layered worlds that are at once familiar and curious.

The ever-present horizon and ever-changing skies that surround my home are a dominant force of inspiration in my work, immediately recognisable when visiting my home and studio in the hills outside of Boonah. These thresholds of the environment, where the boundary between earth and sky blurs, where the reflection is the same but different, invite viewers to consider their own place within this expansive landscape. The patterns remind us of home and comfort us yet cloak the land with our presence. Objects appear like beacons or portals and all become the landmarks that signify our experience and definition of our places.

My work reflects on how our connection to the land is embedded in us yet has become fragile. I explore our tarnished relationship to the natural world, seeking a path to remembrance, reverence and renewal.
