An exploration of creation...

In the beginning God created… The very first words of the story of creation, and through these foundational words my perspective on our world is illuminated.

As an artist born and raised in rural Western Australia, my journey is deeply intertwined with the vibrant tapestry of creativity that surrounded me from the very beginning. Growing up as the daughter of an artist and potter, I was immersed in an environment where artistry and freedom flourished effortlessly.

With my parents' pottery studio seamlessly integrated into our home, I was constantly surrounded by the rhythmic hum of creativity – from the spinning of the wheel to the dance of paintbrushes on canvas. My mother's vivid and abstract oil paintings were a constant source of inspiration, each stroke a testament to her passion and dedication. I often found myself captivated by her immersive process, losing myself in the colors and textures of her creations.

My childhood was a kaleidoscope of exploration and wonder, with every corner of the Australian bush offering a new adventure. From building forts amidst the ancient trees to discovering delicate native orchids hidden in the undergrowth, each day was a canvas waiting to be filled with the vibrant hues of nature's palette. The endless expanse of the beach became my playground, where hours were spent in pursuit of the perfect catch, the salt-kissed air a reminder of the boundless beauty that surrounded me.

Today, as an artist and a mother, I find myself drawn back to the simplicity and splendor of nature. With my husband and children by my side, I embark on new journeys of discovery, each step a testament to the awe-inspiring majesty of God's creation. My paintings serve as a reflection of this profound connection, an overflow of love and reverence for the intricate beauty that surrounds us. Through my art, I seek to capture the essence of the natural world – its colors, its textures, its rhythms – inviting others to share in the wonder of creation and to find solace and inspiration in its timeless embrace.
