Melbourne-based abstract artist interested in how we see, remember and feel

My work invites a closer look. Through shape, colour and shifting light, each piece can stir a feeling, a memory or a fleeting sense of familiarity. Some evoke a seascape, a distant horizon, or a place that exists only in the imagination. Others are harder to place, leaving room for the mind to wander.

My move towards abstraction grew out of years of traditional life drawing. Working from direct observation taught me to notice nuances in line, gesture, light and the spaces in between. Over time, I moved away from depicting what was in front of me. I became more interested in the atmosphere, ambiguity and impressions an image could create.

Today, I use my camera as a tool for discovery, exploring how colour, light, and composition completely transform ordinary objects and things around me. By isolating details, playing with scale and shifting familiar visual references, I create abstract works that often bear little resemblance to their beginnings. Sometimes, an idea develops through deliberate experimentation; at other times, an image emerges by chance. I'm always curious to see what might come from these unexpected discoveries.

I hope my work offers a moment away from the everyday. I invite you to pause, look a little longer and find your own connection with what you see. Perhaps a memory will surface, an imagined place will take shape, or you will simply enjoy the colours and the feeling. For me, that's part of the pleasure of making and sharing art.
