I embarked on my artistic journey as a Graphic Designer after graduating from the Queensland College of Art in Brisbane, where I obtained both a Diploma of Art and a Bachelor’s Degree in Art. My early career in the printing industry involved crafting marketing and branding materials for a wide range of clients, guiding designs from initial concept to final production.

Building on my graphic design expertise, I transitioned into education, dedicating a decade to the tertiary sector.

Throughout my experiences in primary, secondary, and tertiary education, I developed a profound passion for arts education. I believe the arts extend beyond creating visually appealing works; they cultivate essential skills such as creative problem-solving, motor skills, language acquisition, social interaction, decision-making, risk-taking, and inventiveness—skills that are crucial for life.

After stepping away from teaching to welcome my second child, I entered a new phase as a stay-at-home mother, exhibiting artist, and private art tutor.

Artist Statement

My creative process is driven by themes—each body of work begins with an idea, followed by research, sketching, and design development in journals. I then select the medium that best suits the subject, whether it’s oil paints for a series of still life works or aerosols and inks for a graffiti-inspired exploration of heavy metal music. My work is not tied to a single style or material; instead, it’s shaped by the story I want to tell. Each series is carefully designed and crafted to offer a unique visual experience that reflects both my design sensibility and artistic curiosity. My exhibitions often surprise viewers with their variety, but are always tied together by thoughtful composition and intention.
