For me, the addiction to getting my hands dirty started a long time ago when, as a teenager, my father took me to my first ever pottery class. Ever since then the mud has literally stuck.

My artistic practice spreads across a variety of mediums, such as clay, textiles, fibre, printmaking, painting and drawing. My philosophical approach to art making is intrinsically involved with the natural elements, particularly earth, water and fire, which parallels with my long life as an Iyengar Yoga teacher.

My attitude towards art making is intuitive yet

intentional. Themes within my work include depictions of the physical and natural environments of the Midwest, the art itself often involving found-objects from these places. The environments are then juxtaposed stylistically in a Surrealist way, re-framing viewer’s preconceived ideas of the Australian landscape as vast and unknowable, impersonal, to something more intimate.

My work offers a concentrated reflection on personal interactions with the elemental environment and seeks to represent the cyclical nature of all natural life.
