A Melbourne-based mixed media artist, I blend diverse materials and techniques to create pieces that resonate with depth and complexity. With a knack for transforming everyday visuals into striking art, my work is a dialogue between the material world and my imaginative vision. Each piece is a journey, exploring themes of connection, contrast, and the beauty of the unexpected. Passionate about the interplay of textures, colors, and forms, my art invites viewers into a world where the conventional meets the extraordinary.

Foresight to Capture
Retail Price: A$1500
Dimensions: 50x50cmcm (H x W)
Statement: Visuals being photos, pictures, film etc. I can’t help but think how it came about to capture images and to develop them. The foresight to capture moments in time and preserve them forever. This is my reminder of how we did it in the 20th century.

Statement: My tribute portrait to the female Mountain Gorillas of Rwanda.This lady is 40 years old and 7 months pregnant.
