If I couldn’t create art, I think I would curl up and die. I have always loved creating and sharing artwork. Image making is my therapy and life fuel!
I’m a self taught artist from a young age. My art practice has changed from a young girl, from drawing realistic horses over and over, to exploring digital art whilst studying graphic design, then back to traditional techniques for my work as a represented commercial illustrator, advocate with Element Eden and my personal fine art work. I’ve been exhibiting in group shows for the past five years and am soon approaching my first solo show.
My personal work, portraits of feminine beauty, have predominantly been created using pastel and colour pencil, this year I am exploring oil painting alongside by previous techniques.
2012 is my first year as a full time artist. Up until now I was creating my art and commercial illustrations part time whilst working as a full time graphic designer. 2012 has also brought about a change of scenery. Originally a country girl, moved to Melbourne for five years and have now made a new home in the Kiewa Valley, Victoria, where I can focus solely on my art and be surrounded and inspired by nature and the simple things in life.
Through my art, I hope to evoke a sensual connection to my subjects while creating an affection for classic beauty, nature and nostalgia.
