I’ve been living and practicing in Moreland for 5 years now after moving from Queensland to pursue a professional masters course in art conservation. With a bachelor and doctorate under my belt, my practice mostly revolves around animals and their treatment by humans. Often using a personal approach by discussing the everyday mundane and the extraordinary nature of the human condition, I try to develop emotional relationships between myself, my viewers, and the animals involved in the artworks. I use many mediums to create collages, with an emphasis on drawing. I attempt to create a balance between quiet sentimentality and strong statement. I like to make use of interactivity, sentimentalism, humour, narrative, found objects, recyclable items, delicacy, artisan crafts, photocopy, digital, and the living world.
