"Based in Brisbane, Australia, I am a self-taught hobby artist that uses oils and acrylics to paint in a realism style. More recently I have been experimenting with more textured and 'painterly' style art. I am drawn to seek out unexpected beauty, colours, and angles in everyday scenes especially rustic and gritty urban scenes, industrial structures, minimalist designs and still life objects. 

Most days, I actively seek out painting inspiration - reminding myself to ‘always look upward’ and take a moment for ‘mindfulness in everyday urban environments’.My interest in art started when I was 8 years old when I started drawing with chalk and pencils.

During high school I received formal recognition and awards through local junior exhibitions and senior high school academic awards. Straight out of high school, I studied graphic and commercial design which lead to me into a 10 year career as a Graphic Designer followed by 20 years as a Brand Strategist and Marketer. 

While art has taken a back seat to my creative career, it has always been a leisure pursuit which I am increasingly making time for. What time and experience has afforded me is the ability to accept that art is a journey. One that needs experimentation, continual practice and forever learning."
