The natural landscape is the best place to observe repetition in patterns such as cracked clay in river beds, veins in leaves, wind blown sand dunes and scales on fish. |

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.
