I’ve always been drawn to art, but my journey hasn’t been a straight line. I’ve started and stopped fine arts degrees more times than I’d like to admit, but in 2019, I decided to fully commit. Working under the mentorship of Jacqui Stockdale gave me the structure and encouragement I needed to grow. Now, I paint from Northcote Art Studio in Melbourne, surrounded by a vibrant community of creatives.

My work focuses on still lifes and portraits. I love exploring how light and texture can elevate everyday objects or capture the emotional depth of a person. I aim to create paintings that feel relatable but still leave an impact—something that stays with you beyond the initial look.

I’m not interested in overcomplicating things. For me, it’s about balancing strong technical skills with the freedom to experiment. My goal is to create honest, approachable work that connects with people on a personal level, without unnecessary fuss or pretension.
