I am a Melbourne based artist.
I discovered my creative self in my childhood. At the age of 8 I embraced the world of figure drawing which inspired me to one day become a famous Fashion Designer. I spent the next 10 years experimenting different art styles and techniques before moving onto studying Design at Melbourne School of Fashion.
The industry was so competitive and I felt doubtful and discouraged so I buried my passion & paint brush and accepted that my reality was the monotonous 9-5 job.
I then focused on investing into my new passion for travel and the desire to visit as many countries as I possible could.
Fast forward 15 years, I was asked to paint a café mural. I was flattered and terrified at the same time but I took the plunge, the fire inside me reignited, my creativity was reborn and my passion took over me like a plague. I felt empowered and alive again.
2020 arrived, the make-or-break year for many, was the year that gave me the time to pause and reflect and on my journey. I came to the realisation that creating pieces brings me joy, so this is what I want to do every day, something that brings me joy, peace and fills my heart with gratitude for the beauty of my hands, for the beauty of my creativity and the beauty of the world.
lots of love & light
