Artist’s Statement

I am a Worimi and Biripi First Nations Australian artist working in acrylics, oil paint, and mixed media. I am also a nurse and marine ecologist with a PhD in sensory ecology, and these diverse life experiences strongly influence my creative practice.

My work is inspired by personal experience, a love of nature, and curiosity about the natural world. I combine research and planning with intuitive mark-making, allowing paintings to evolve through experimentation, reflection, and discovery.

I am currently developing a research-based body of work inspired by scientific discoveries about life, consciousness, and time. While science helps us understand how the world works, art is needed to explore the deeper questions these discoveries raise about meaning, connection, and our place in the universe. My practice is informed by both scientific inquiry and First Nations perspectives, exploring how different ways of knowing can illuminate similar questions.

As a recent arrival to the UK, I welcome opportunities to connect with artists, researchers, and community groups interested in interdisciplinary collaboration.
