About the artist

I am a visual artist and arts instructor based in Secret Harbour, WA, working primarily in watercolours, pastels, and alcohol inks. I hold a Master of Arts in Linguistics and a qualification in graphic design, both of which inform my visual storytelling and compositional approach. I have been an active member of local art communities and the Watercolour Society of WA since 2020, and my work has been exhibited in numerous group shows and art awards across Western Australia.
