Born in Brisbane, Australia

Lives & works in Sydney, Australia

 

I am a Sydney based artist, graduate of the Sydney College of the Arts with first class honours in fine arts. My current works aim to explore conventions in the history of painting where the work opens up a dialogue between space and what is perceived as the ‘real’ and the ‘abstract’.

 

Just as Lewis Carroll worked with prose in Alice in Wonderland, by rupturing the image I allow the surface to act as a portal into the paintings’ exterior and interior.
