Temperance
Acrylic on digital metal print
Temperance – the art of emotional restraint and self-discipline. Relying solely on luck isn’t wise when pursuing your passions. At times, you must cling to your feelings while also adopting a practical and intellectual perspective on life.

Pomaceous
Cotton fabric and thread, fibre fill, synthetic yarn
Textiles and stitching are my way of telling a story. The story has its roots in my childhood when all girls learnt handsewing as part of our education in preparation for an expected domestic life.
The pear shape in this work is a symbol of the female form. This symbolism has been used by many artists across various cultures. Symbolising abundance, fertility, longevity, wisdom and purity.

Memories of The South West
Eco dyed wool, stitched, using small stones from South West Tas
After a flight into Tasmania’s South West National Park, I was inspired to create a stitched work, as a memory of this once in a lifetime experience.
I had eco dyed some woollen blankets and I chose this small piece with the leaf print. Then I stitched more leaves to reflect the amazing forests in the South West.
The small pebbles represent the beach where I had lunch and a walk. A very memorable day.

The Hazards
Soft pastels
Granite monoliths and granite rockpools make memories for my young self and my old. In the sand and in the sheoaks the winds of progress whisp away the childhood nostalgia of sandcastles and stargazing. Replaced with the voyages to the dark depths of hidden caverns of wondrous creatures, aged and tainted tales in tandem, my existence in this place always relates back to the first and fondest recollections of seizing a point in time with nothing more to add than what is contained in the frame.

Found Dyed Stitched
Botanical dyed wool blanket. Found objects
This work is all about finding treasures everywhere and seeing beauty in decay and imperfection.
Wind fallen Eucalyptus leaves in kerbs, were gathered along the streets, while out walking. They were rolled in wool blanket and gently simmered.
Layering, stitching and attaching found objects onto the work, tells the story of the joys of finding dyeing and stitching.

The many faces of emotions..
Black and white Drawing, pencil/fine tip pen
I am Autistic, and I find drawing different facial expressions calming and relaxing. This drawing is my interpretation of how I see many different emotions and feelings. I used a combination of grey lead pencil and black fine tip pen to create this drawing.

Beacon
Canvas print
This image captures the Mersey Bluff Lighthouse in Devonport, Tasmania, standing tall beneath the Southern Sky. With its iconic red and white stripes cutting a bold silhouette against the starry night, the lighthouse beams stretch outward like a guardian of the coast. On this particular evening, the rare dance of the aurora australis painted the sky in hues of violet and green, offering a fleeting but magical backdrop to this steadfast structure.
As a local photographer, I strive to freeze these rare moments of natural wonder, where the built and natural worlds align so harmoniously. Beacon is a celebration of Tasmania’s beauty and its ever-present connection to the cosmos, a reminder that even in the darkest hours, there’s light to guide the way.

A Glimpse of the Horse
Photography
The horse is a unique beauty, an animal which symbolises freedom, power and beauty. I aimed to capture this in my work and photograph the horses in their natural movement and stance. Capturing the raw essence and spirit of these horses, an animal which is so strong and so gentle. I wanted to photograph these horses and capture their shiny coats, long manes and delicate but strong bodies, I wanted to accompany them with the use of natural landscapes. Incorporating nature’s small details into my work to create depth and a magical feel. I hope that through my work you can look into these horses, that you can see through their strong and powerful body and see their soft and gentle nature. That they are what they symbolise, but they are also so much more.

Take time to breathe
Watercolour (Oriental influence)
In a world where bold colour dominates, photos are enhanced, printed graphics are intense and AI is producing art, this work is about becoming one with the flow of water. Quiet, relaxing calm – taking time to enjoy the subtleties. Enter the fragile landscape, slow down, take time to breathe.

Seahorse See-saw
Beach Pebble and Driftwood
This playful miniature sculpture captures a moment of quiet motion—two driftwood forms poised like sea horses circling each other above a softly rounded beach pebble. The natural balance and tension between the pieces create the impression of a gentle see-saw, echoing the rhythms of the sea. Made from found materials collected along Tasmania’s coastline, Sea Horse See-Saw is a celebration of simplicity, balance, and the inherent character of weathered wood. The work invites viewers to slow down and notice the subtle liveliness in natural forms. It is both sculpture and story—light, imaginative, and grounded in place.

Flame Cars
Gel Plate, Ink and Collage
Cars travel around a stadium. I designed the cars first using textas. Then I used a fork to make patterns on the red green and blue ink on the gel plate. Then I cut the cars out and put them on.

Be a Man
Digital photography printed on lustre paper
Men have been indoctrinated from an early age, with many being told to “be a man” or “Man up”. They are advised to only act in a masculine nature and avoid anything deemed feminine as it may impact their image. I use denim as a symbol of these traditional gender ideals. They surround men and sometimes engulf them, enabling constant worry about how their manliness will be perceived. My photograph physically depicts how these hegemonic notions truly impact one’s mental health and sense of self. What drives my work is the increase in domestic violence against women. Recent studies have shown that mental health and social connections are leading factors in this global issue. When I first started exploring this concept, the pandemic of violence was just beginning but it now continues to grow at a devastating rate. It is crucial that we as a society shift the current outlook we have on what it truly means to “be a man” in order to minimise this heartbreaking outbreak.
