About Me
Image credit: Megan Kerr
I am an artist based in Adelaide, Australia, and majored in Printmaking at Adelaide College of the Arts. My artwork explores the relationships between humans and nature, and animals and symbols are frequently depicted in my work. Inspiration is also drawn from mythology and ancient practices. Using mainly lino printing, hand colouring and embossing, I examine the natural world through vibrant and stylised imagery.
As well as working in my own arts practice, I teach a variety of workshops, at schools and at Ruth Tuck Art School, where I am also currently a director.
