As an Artist & Designer I am an avid collector, curator and creator of eclectic objects.
My artworks are objects of beauty embedded with storytelling; whether sacred silver jewellery or sculptural forms they evoke ancient & exotic cultures, and are inspired by the Sea & South West palette.
I am inspired by wearable art, body adornment, costume, textiles, mythology, artefacts and ancient architecture.
With a Visual Arts degree with Honours from Curtin University, I have a multidisciplinary approach to creating; from large-scale sculptural forms such as the life-size Whale sculpture I created for the Augusta Whalesong Festival in May; to installations, intricate textiles and symbolic silver jewellery. Inspired by the ocean, coastal environment and the South West my creative designs and artworks incorporate textures, pattern and form derived from, observed or collected in nature.

My work often explores the space between art and fashion. I’m interested in the language of materials and I utilise diverse mediums and techniques including layering, repetition, pattern, texture & surface. The Whale Sculpture is essentially a giant woven textiles piece made in 3 nesting components: contemporary basketry!

I explore the endless possibilities of materials and my work incorporates textural and tactile elements and qualities that evoke the senses and memories. I am drawn to embellishments and ornamentation and I explore these using found, collected & repurposed objects transforming discarded items into precious, decorative surfaces.

My passion for beautiful design extends to my self-labeled, silver jewellery collection which is an extension of my wearable art practice and is represented in several Art Galleries throughout WA and the South West. My highly coveted, limited-edition designs feature my signature style and take inspiration from my extensive travels to faraway lands such as Morocco, and a fascination with ancient cultures, sacred symbols, artefacts and textiles. Each piece tells a story and is embedded with personal and universal philosophies and meanings so they resonate with and inspire the wearer. I travel often to my second studio in Ubud, the artisan heart of Bali, to work with a family of highly skilled artisans that I have worked with for almost 20 years to bring my bespoke designs to life incorporating exquisite gemstones that evoke the palette of the South West.

I see beauty in the world and aim to capture this in my work.
