I love to create images through painting 🎨, drawing ✏️ and embroidery 🧵 as well as through styling and art direction. My aesthetic is maximalist, blending both old and new, found and created.

🌸 archibald prize project.

In 2024, I have been interested in portraiture. In April, my friend Lexi Keelan and I entered portraits into the Archibald Prize, which you can read more about here. My self-portrait (below right) was exhibited as part of Kaleidoscope III at Belco Arts, a collection of art celebrating LGBTIAQ+ pride.

🌸 creative journal challenge.

In July 2024, I participated in the Craft + Design Canberra creative journal challenge. Each day we received a prompt to respond to in any creative medium. I decided to make my responses in a sweet little Japanese journal I had bought. I used ink pen to create each background and water colour and gouache to create little tarot inspired cards.

Here are a few of my favourite responses. You can also check out all the other participants here.

Here are two of my favourite responses from a previous year of the creative journal challenge. Right, the prompt was home. Left, the prompt was city.

🌸 collaborative portraiture.

In March 2023 I participated in a collaborative process to augment portraits by the Artist Deborah Kelly. You can read more about that experience here.

🌸 styling and set design.

For many years, I worked creatively as a stylist and set designer. The images I am interested in crafting are rich with detail, drawing on varied historical references.
