Artist Biography:

Born in Subiaco, Western Australia, in December 1962.

Raised in a very creative household, as my father was an artist and always involved in creative projects, painting, and writing children's books. After having some small success after finishing art school in 1985, my artistic career was cut short when my partner died in a work accident. This event changed the trajectory of my life dramatically, and my focus on producing art shifted to working at paid employment and painting less.

Whilst always continuing to paint in the background, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022, and following my recovery, the realization of what is truly important in my life led me to devote the majority of my time to my obsession with art.
