My work is driven by our deep connections with both human and more-than-human beings. Endlessly curious and in awe of the natural world, I feel we are inextricably linked to and responsible for it. A passion for foraging and detail informs my practice, while my lifelong love of multimedia experimentation finds physical expression in clay and metals—materials whose transformative, unpredictable nature mirrors life itself.

With a long and varied career in the UK as a freelance designer, illustrator, and maker—spanning surface pattern, book illustration, ceramics, greeting cards, and memorial ware—I’ve built a rich creative foundation. Since moving to Australia in 2007,  alongside my own arts practice, I’ve combined my skills and passions in community work, where I truly "found my element" (Sir Ken Robinson), receiving grants and completing residencies in schools and community settings. I have exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions with my designs selling internationally. I now bring the depth of my experience to focus solely on my own creative practice.

A sense of the fragility of the world is intimately connected to an appreciation of its wonders. This sense of wonder can be called childlike, but that doesn’t make it childish. In maturity, wonder develops into a perpetually life-renewing thing.

Sir David Attenborough
