I am originally from Canberra, Australia where I completed my undergraduate degree at the Australian National University, School of Art and Design.
Currently I reside in Melbourne, where, at the end of 2024, I will complete my honours year in Painting at The Victorian College of the Arts.
I am a figurative painter, with a focus on depicting the figure within a ‘space’. My paintings capture experiences of the everyday that are osilate between the familiar and the uncanny. I depict the everyday, by showing moments of interactions with friends, family or myself. Looking at these interactions through a lens of memory, emotions and feelings. My work is based on both the found and the personal image. As so much of my lived experience is an interaction between digital and the personal data base. My methodological approach to painting is often led by a subconscious response to imagery and material, I aim to let the painting paint itself.
Established in 2021, the National Emerging Art Prize was created to provide an annual, highly visible national platform to identify, promote and support the most promising emerging visual and ceramic artists in Australia.
