About

Hello

I'm an Australian artist working on Kaurna Land. I work solely with low-toxic oil paint, with minimal use of harmful solvents and mediums to minimise the impact of harm to health and environment.

My work typically features botanical and figurative elements, with the intent of revealing the ever-present light, vibrancy and interconnectedness in all things.

More recently, I have shifted my focus to Buddhist commissions. I welcome the opportunity to talk with you about your creative project.​​

​​

I am training for Ordination within the Triratna Buddhist Order, and thoroughly enjoying working with Order members, to create images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to support practice.

Please dont hesitate to get in touch via email

My process & how to work with me

Fortunately, prior to obtaining my Bachelor of Visual Art, I trained as a Graphic Designer. So my process begins in a digital way, using Photoshop. Patrons share information, stories and images with me. I then compose every element to create a whole, yet very rough and malleable digital image. From here we can Zoom, share screens and edit all the different elements as we talk it through together. This may need to happen several times, but ultimately it is better to edit at this digital stage rather than through the painting process. I am committed to ensuring that my patrons are completely satisfied with the finished result.
