I am a contemporary artist living on the Sunshine Coast on Gubbi Gubbi/Kabi Kabi Country. My main medium is paper carvings; I cut and peel away layers of thick paper board to create intricate, low relief artworks; then build up the works with shellac and inks to create lush, textural surfaces. I also use light to reveal semi transparent layers.
The resulting work is characterised by naturalistic, rippling patterns. I am influenced by the Romantic and Sublime movements drawing parallels between the natural environment and the cerebral.
I studied the Diploma in Visual Art and Contemporary Craft with South Bank TAFE, completed 2010; then I apprenticed at Artis Pura Picture Framing and completed a Certificate 3 in Picture Framing in 2014; I graduated the Bachelor of Visual Arts in 2017 and then Honours of Arts and Design in 2018 at University of Canberra.
