My work is a visual exploration of the quiet beauty that exists beneath the surface—both literally and metaphorically. As a multidisciplinary artist based in Australia, I draw from the natural world, mythology, and the sacred feminine to create layered, emotionally resonant images. Whether I’m working with chalk pastels, oil, acrylic, or digital collage, I let intuition guide the form each piece takes.
Inspired by underwater light, dream states, and botanical symbolism, my artworks blend hand-drawn figures with vintage illustration, textured patterns, and shifting palettes. I often return to themes of transformation, stillness, and connection—between the body and landscape, myth and memory, self and spirit.
