I am an artist originally from New Zealand, now living and
creating in Sunrise Beach, Noosa. My journey with art began in childhood, where
I found peace in painting the waterfall outside my home. That early connection
to nature stayed with me, growing into a quiet longing to paint again.

At 28, I told my husband I dreamed of becoming an artist. He
built me my first easel, and not long after—pregnant with our first child—I
joined a small local class and painted my first picture. That moment changed
everything. I had found what I was meant to do.

I am self-taught and have spent years exploring a range of
mediums: watercolour, pastel, acrylic, charcoal, pen and ink, and oil. While
I have experimented with many subjects and styles, I always return to nature.
Birds, blossoms, landscapes, sea, and sky — they speak to something deep and quiet
in me.

I spent 10 years in a remote part of Queensland’s Balonne
Shire, where I practiced daily, opened a small gallery, taught children’s
classes, and held my first exhibition. Now, from my studio in Noosa, I continue
to follow this path—creating work that celebrates the beauty and balance found
in the natural world.

I draw inspiration from the old masters, their processes and
techniques, and from the world around me — light on water, the tilt of a bird’s
wing, the soft unfolding of a flower. My work is a quiet offering; a way to
share what I see, feel, and love.
