My Creative Practice
My creative practice is rooted in storytelling, inquiry, and connection. Working across disciplines—drawing, textiles, muralism, installation, creative writing, and sound—I explore the intersection of personal mythology, ecological awareness, and community narrative. With over a decade of project-based experience, I bring a highly adaptive and research-informed lens to site-responsive creative practice.
I’ve undertaken national and international residencies, research fellowships, and public commissions that position art as a tool for dialogue, reflection, and systemic change. I’ve also received recurring grant support for socially engaged, youth-focused, and environmentally driven projects across Australia.
My work spans solo exhibitions and public activations, small-scale drawings and large-scale murals, ephemeral installations and permanent public artworks. Across every medium, I’m interested in making meaning visible—holding space for complexity, interconnection, and cultural restoration.
