With an insatiable love for the ocean, for travel, music, learning, people — and all things creative — the spirit of wanderlust is what makes me tick.

My processes weave creativity, story-telling and technology into artworks that both engage and challenge; creating tension through beauty and imbalance and images that are at once figurative and abstract.

From afar, colour and composition stimulate sense-making—drawing viewers into the artworks. At close proximity rich details reveal themselves adding secondary narratives, while abstraction and depth entangle the viewer in the work.
