Workshops

Over the past decade I’ve actively been sharing skills of art making and creative expression with adults and children across regional and urban communities. This is a great passion of mine and I love seeing people thrive in a safe spaces to express creativity. I’ve witnessed the child like expressions of joy from multiple generations as art opens conversation and connection. This to me is where the inner spirit and soul sing. Using art+creativity as a connecting point it enables community to thrive, along with positive benefits to health and wellbeing.

Photography continues to captivate me. In search of shifting light, contrast, colour & composition, the nostalgia of film is very much alive to me. From my earliest memories of family polaroids, to simple point & shoot film cameras, ( I use iPhone/& digital cameras too these days ). This medium is still such an amazing way of cataloging the ever changing world we live in.

The last seven years I’ve had the pleasure to participate on some wonderful artist residency programs internationally, locally and regionally. Having time and space to connect to new places, people, cultures and environments has inspired some diverse and more experimental works. I’m hoping to reveal more of these works in 2024 so keep your eyes peeled.

Upscaling work to large scale mural format has been an exciting journey. I’ve had the opportunity to work on independent and collaborative mural projects across regional Australia. Collaborations have included working alongside Shires and Councils from Mukinbudin to Augusta Margaret River bringing walls to life through community activations. I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside amazingly talented artists such as Luke O’Donohoe, Ian Mutch, & Jake Quodling.

Investigating our daily journey and how we negotiate each path is something that has always intrigued me. I like to challenge viewers to shift their perspective or way they engage in the world around them.

These mediums have been in my repertoire for the longest, and form many of my earliest memories of creative expression. I still remember drawing endlessly at school, on every book I owned or spare piece of paper. I love where the mind drifts in these states of creation. With each line or brush stroke a journey begins, with no real known destination, just what we humanly tune into, this is the wonder of drawing and painting.

In recent years I’ve been discovering my affinity to work with various materials from timber, found objects, and metal. Natural shapes, textures and forms inform much of my work, I’m also fascinated in the stories that lie in objects and enjoy reinterpreting narratives how their physical forms can morph.

These are literal flow forms straight from my hand and mind, doodling on my phone or tablet.
