Sharing stories is my passion.
Folkloric tales, fated discovery voyages, local flora and symbols of protection – inspire all facets of may work.

I am an artist and independent curator, with a 25 year career in arts and cultural management. My jewellery, artwork and curatorial projects draws directly on my autobiographical adventures and passion for cultural heritage and the arts.
Current collections centre on traversing the human condition, borne out of my complex healing journey after becoming SICK AF from a disabling medical injury.
The studio is my place of sanctuary and of literal therapy.
Creating beautiful objects is a beacon of light in my recovery process.
I have a Bachelor of Arts, Visual Art, Curtin School, 1999; a Diploma of Fine Arts, Western Australian School of Art, Design and Media 1997; and am remotely undertaking a Diploma of Silver, Fine and Advanced Jewellery, at Jewellers Academy London.
