Art, to me, is both a quiet rebellion and an act of surrender. It is the audacity to reveal one’s wounds to the world and the hope that, in doing so, they may offer healing—not just to myself, but to others who see themselves reflected in my work. Art is never born from vanity but from necessity: a visceral need to document the fragile threads of humanity, beauty, and resilience that bind us together.

My creative journey began with a detour—a decade as an Accredited Practising Dietitian in community healthcare where I witnessed the profound weight of empathy and connection. These experiences taught me that every story, no matter how complex or painful, has the power to spark understanding and inspire hope. Whether through the faces of veterans in Of Service or the relationship between land and identity in Land is Family, my work seeks to amplify voices that often go unheard, inviting my audience to see the world—and themselves—with greater compassion.

I embrace the imperfections of the human experience, capturing the shadows that make the light shine brighter. My art is not confined to a single category; instead, it is an exploration—of truth, identity, and the intricate dance between struggle and hope. In these explorations, I invite you to join me, to find your own reflections within the stories I tell, and to walk alongside me as we uncover the beauty that exists within vulnerability.

Art, for me, is more than an aesthetic pursuit. It is a bridge between worlds, a call to empathy, and a lifeline for those in search of meaning. In every image, I seek to honour the courage it takes to be seen and the transformative power of sharing our stories. Together, we can foster a deeper connection to ourselves, to each other, and to the world around us.
