Celebrate in paint 

I believe that art has the ability to reflect our values and gives us a way of treasuring our own personal history.

 

This is why my paintings are inspired by a respect for the wild natural beauty of the Margaret River area, celebrate that challenging hike along the Cape to Cape Track but also have a more playful side.

 

The paint allows me to capture those memories forever and recreate a magical feeling of walking through tall trees and the stunning coastal paths.

 

By combining vibrant colours, unique marks and organic paint effects with calming areas of space

I can expresses nature's superpower to both restore and revitalise us. 

 

Imagine that wonderful sensation of being surrounded by the colours and memories of Australia's South West in your own home every day.

 

Come in and explore my world of authentic, uniques creative and colourful paintings.​​

MY dream job

From Marketing Brand Manager to Artist

​​

Step by step I worked towards learning all that I could about art, creativity and paint.

​

Whilst my three children where at primary school I spent my days and nights immersed in a fine art degree.

​

I now have two studios, a growing number of collectors around the world and most importantly, the ability to make people smile.

​

My art helps people who’ve fallen in love with the wild side of Margaret River, to remember and treasure their time there. It allows them to create a home filled with art that is not only beautiful, but has personal meaning.

 


How are my paintings special?


Working from memory, the surface evolves as I playfully add and subtract paint; smearing, dripping, sanding and scratching. A process of layering creates what I call 'visual texture', which is full of surprises, happy accidents and unexpected combinations. This tapestry of marks is then balanced by pleasing shapes of negative space. which begin to form familiar land marks to suggest a place, like Boranup Forest.

 

My paintings are full of vitality, but also calm - just like in nature. They are vibrant and familiar from afar, yet full of subtly and hidden detail up close.

Who is my art for?

Forest lovers, fans of the stunning South West coast, Cape to Cape walkers - but with a twist, in that you enjoy being able to see the paint in a painting and be surprised at what you can discover up close. 

 

My art will help you to create a beautiful, unique, nature-inspired home thats filled with positive, personal memories.
