ARTIST STATEMENT
I am a self-taught emerging artist based in the stunning South West of Western Australia. Art has always been an integral part of my life, but it wasn’t until the tragic passing of my father in 2019 that painting became both a refuge and a powerful form of therapy. During that challenging time, I turned to the canvas, and through the act of creation, I found healing. What began as a way to process grief has now blossomed into a daily practice that continues to nourish me – as a mother, daughter, wife, friend and beyond.
Flowers have become a central motif in my work, symbolising hope, resilience, and the ability to find beauty even in difficult times. The spontaneous flow of florals in my paintings mirrors the emotional landscape I navigate, with each piece carrying its own story of growth and renewal. The colours I use, the decorative elements, and the overall mood of my work are often guided by my emotions and the changing seasons, reflecting my inner world and the rhythms of nature around me. I work primarily in acrylics, but I love to experiment with different mediums to explore new textures and effects. My approach is intuitive; I embrace the freedom that comes with the creative process and allow my emotions and instincts to guide me. Each painting is a personal expression, and invitation to share a moment of peace, joy and connection with others.
My hope is that my artwork brings warmth and light into people’s homes and spaces. The sense of contentment I feal while creating is something I wish to pass on to my collectors, offering them a piece of beauty that uplifts and inspires.
