BA Visual Arts

Graduate Diploma Teaching

l am a visual artist and educator living and working in Melbourne, Australia.

My practice revolves around painting, driven by a fascination with time’s transformative power. It erodes, reshapes, and distorts our memories—turning experiences into new representations. We layer them with new recollections, altering and misremembering them along the way.

I also explore the tension between opposing yet interconnected forces—order and disorder, creation and decay.  

I am drawn to the self-perpetuating cycles that shape our existence, questioning how to preserve the impossible, how to capture fleeting moments, and how to resist the inevitability of time and death. Through colour, shape, and pattern, I seek to suspend these contradictions in a balance, allowing them to coexist on the canvas
