Born in Aotearoa New Zealand and now based in Naarm Melbourne, I am an emerging visual artist focusing on layered, abstract mixed-media painting. My work investigates colour, texture, and gesture as forces that go beyond traditional representation, engaging with ideas of embodiment, materiality, and intra-action (things continuously forming through their interactions).

Though art was always part of my childhood, it wasn’t an obvious career choice, and I was encouraged to pursue a more conventional path. After earning degrees in Business and Health Science, I spent over a decade building a career in those fields before following a deep, intuitive desire to create art.

In 2017, I completed a drawing course and spent time living and working in New York, which significantly influenced my artistic development. I began exhibiting in 2023, earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting) with Distinction from RMIT University in 2025, and received the Chapman and Bailey Award for Excellence in Contemporary Painting. In 2026, I will complete the esteemed Honours program at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA).
