As an experimental printmaking artist, I’m driven by curiosity — constantly exploring new materials, processes, and ways of making. Neon colours often energise my pieces, and I enjoy combining a range of printmaking techniques such as screen printing, risography, and relief printing, including lino and even playful materials like Lego Dots to build patterns and shapes. I also create original abstract artworks that blend printing with painting, stitching, and typographic elements, such as Letraset transfer lettering. While my recent work is primarily printed on paper and canvas paper, I’m excited to expand into printing on fabric, wood, and cornstarch clay in the near future.

My practice is deeply process-led. I often begin with a simple desire to create, choosing a shape or motif that gradually evolves into a composition. Sometimes the result remains purely abstract; other times it reveals opportunities to develop imagery inspired by nature, everyday objects, or typographic messages. I intentionally embrace low‑tech, hands‑on methods — cutting paper stencils for screen prints, carving lino, and layering colours and shapes in a playful, intuitive way. Over time, I’ve learned to welcome mistakes and moments of chance, allowing unexpected and beautiful outcomes to emerge.

My personality is woven throughout my work, which ranges from light‑hearted and humorous self‑expression to explorations of more existential or philosophical themes. My background in graphic arts and design is evident in my instinctive use of colour, texture, and composition to create bold, uplifting visual experiences. Creativity has always been essential to my wellbeing — it helps me process experiences, engage my senses, and regulate my emotions. Although this has been true since childhood, my recent exploration of my own neurodivergence has deepened my understanding of the therapeutic value of making art. I’m inspired by artists who create authentically and intuitively, such as illustrator Jane Foster and public artist and designer Morag Myerscough, whose work has a powerful impact on individuals and communities.

Although I have spent many years working creatively — earning a BA and MA in Visual Communication and working as a graphic designer for a decade — I dedicated the past eight years to raising my children and supporting individuals with learning disabilities through coaching. This shift ultimately reignited my desire to return to my own creative practice. My artistic journey gained new momentum last year when I exhibited at Coalville C.A.N. and later joined Creative Melbourne Gallery’s Spaces to Create programme, which opened up further opportunities to develop and share my work. I also participated in the International Print Exchange #17 in 2025, marking another meaningful step in my growth as a printmaking artist.
