Bio: I conjure up symbols and design elements extracted from primitive societies.

Tribal communities both fascinate and emerge me in a world of designs and patterns. With each piece of artwork, I weave together ancient shapes and forms to create and communicate.

I am influenced by my Australian heritage, taking the old and sacred designs of the indigenous people and transforming them into a world of new.

The medium I use is acrylic on canvas, and recently I have developed tangled artwork using ink drawings.
