Artist Profile

I am a Victoria-based artist exploring my professional practice after more than 25 years of experience in tertiary education, specialising in the visual arts, the built environment, and the museum sectors. My practice centres on oil paintings, where I explore the intersections of architectural and interior design history, infusing my work with a deep understanding of colour theory. Through my art, I aim to evoke emotions by offering viewers a glimpse into a world where art and design converge, exploring the intimate relationship between space and feeling—a visual invitation to pause and reflect.

As a finalist in prestigious art prizes such as the OMNIA Art Prize and a member of The Victorian Artists Society, I have exhibited at galleries including Brunswick Street Gallery (Fitzroy), Aspire Gallery (Brisbane), East Gippsland Art Gallery (Bairnsdale), Quadrant Gallery (Melbourne), Red Gallery (Fitzroy), the Victorian Artists Society (Melbourne), and Hue and Cry Gallery (Geelong). In 2026, I was awarded an Honourable Mention at the global Best Art Awards 2025

My work often delves into the interiors of built spaces, historical design, and contemporary environments. Through layers of oil paint, I create pieces that blur the boundaries between past and present, inviting reflection on both the enduring beauty and fleeting moments that shape our surroundings. Moments captured in time, layered with memories.

Currently, I am exploring the allure of transitional in-between spaces, the visual language of interiors and using subject matter and colour to evoke profound emotional resonance.
