I am a New Zealand-born, contemporary artist based in Munich, Germany. My work explores the complex and often contradictory relationships between humans, animals, and the natural world. Working across mixed-media painting, printmaking, drawing, and sculpture, I create an imagined realm inhabited by curious hybrids—part animal, part human, part plant.

​

My visual language draws on an illustrative approach, using soft colour palettes and decorative elements that echo the fantasy worlds of children’s books, while holding more sombre undertones. Through narrative, irony, and symbolism, I invite viewers to reconsider their relationship with nature—especially with other animals.

​

Over the past 15 years, I have exhibited widely across Australia and internationally. My practice has been supported by a number of awards, grants, and scholarships, including ten international artist residencies. My work is held in both public and private collections worldwide.

​

Alongside my studio practice, I teach mixed media drawing, collage, and ceramic sculpture in small-group settings in my Munich atelier.  My classes focus on developing confidence in mark-making, observational skills, and experimental approaches to image-making, welcoming both beginners and more experienced artists.

​

At the core of my art practice is a deep belief in the emancipation of all innocent beings—an ethos that continues to shape and inform my work.
