My Bio
My artwork shows contemporary life as it is without emphasising the beautiful. I am intrigued by everyday objects that are not primarily associated with attractiveness. I concentrate on objects which are familiar but often overlooked.

I paint from my perspective as a young female living in Australia in the early 21st century. My work is very personal as I paint things from my immediate environment such as my rubbish, invaluable items, what I eat and drink and the unnecessary objects which I buy. For this reason I consider my paintings to be more revealing than a traditional self portrait.

I am a strong believer in needing the rain to appreciate the sunshine. There is a benefit to everything and feel I blessed to be able to see that. I do not paint what is obviously beautiful however I do not paint from a negative point of view. I accept that life is out of my control so instead of focusing on the irrepressible my art embraces positive thinking.

I work with oil paints to create beautiful and gestural imagery. I use a direct application of paint, working wet into wet, making spontaneous brush marks.

Current Residence: Adelaide, South Australia
Favourite style of art: Alla Prima

Again sorry for my lack of posts, I'm rather lazy with this site and i've been very busy. I havent done any major works for awhile and I am focusing on my tasks at art school. At the moment I'm really enjoying my drawing class and learning lots from it, as well as my painting class. I'm not to excited about my current printmaking task, intaglio. I have to say Intaglio hasn't Impressed me much, it doesn't suit my style. I also have a new subject called concept development which I really enjoy. It's all about being creative and teaches new ways of thinking and applying creativity. I love being creative. Just a reminder, I post a lot of my wor
