Product Details
Because we carry the culture and most people tell stories with their painting, and that’s how it was from the beginning. Passing knowledge down. They might not see it now, but in the future, younger people might want to follow in their Elders’ footsteps. And carry on the skills and lifestyles.

My practice demonstrates a strong sense of place, incorporating sculpture, mixed media, printmaking and installation. I explore personal memory and local histories, as well as the character, wonder and peril of the WA coastline, interior settings from my past, and my immediate surroundings. The language of materials is a key aspect of my art, I have a passion for found objects, specimens, collections and the narratives embedded within them. I aim to maintain an eco-conscious contemporary practice with minimal resource consumption.
