I’ve been living in the Kimberley (along with my husband & 4 now adult children) since 2004, first in the East Kimberley for 6 years, and in the West Kimberley since 2011.

I am grateful to have a flexible lifestyle where I am available for relationships with local women in a pastoral care role in and around Derby, West Kimberley.

Being an artist for me means taking the time to observe and appreciate my surroundings and the people & culture around me.

I feel very blessed to live in such a stunning part of this vast country of Australia which is a constant life giving inspiration for my art practice.

I have always loved art and the creative process and I am enjoying the opportunity to grow into it more every day. I have enjoyed experimenting with different art mediums such as etching, linocut printing, eco dyeing, gelli plate printing, watercolour, acrylic & oil paints. The common theme that runs through my work is the people & nature of the Kimberley.

Everything I have lived and experienced up to this point, along with my connection to the Creator is the strength within me. As I create I feel the joy of being a channel of God’s creative energy. I feel like I am just getting started and am excited about the things to come!

I acknowledge the Nyikina/Warrwa Aboriginal people as the Traditional Custodians of the land where I live and work. I also acknowledge the people of Worrora/Wunambul/Ngarinyin/Bardi/Jawi/Mangala/Unggumi/Bunuba/Walmajarri/Kija/Gooniyandi/
Oogardang/Oomeday/Yow Jabi & Wangkatjunka nations with whom I interact. I pay my respects to their strength, cultural resilience and to their Elders.
