I have been a visual artist and educator for over thirty years. My art practice draws out cultural memory, its residues and movements across generations, and its aesthetic influences on the ways we perceive, shape and engage in the world around us. This engagement extends, no, is intrinsically rooted, in the deep and ancient relationships we form with the natural world, for I believe that it is in the deep layers of the land, sea, water and sky that memories are saved, and stories passed on. And it is in the creative process that we connect and make sense of it all.
I have working studios based in Venus Bay, Boon Wurrung/Bunurong Country, Victoria, and Minjerribah [North Stradbroke Island], Quandamooka Country, Queensland.
