Imagination: my escape from the mundane.......

​

My creative path began with my father. He grew up under a piano, listening to his opera-singing mother and eccentric relatives composing classical music. Drawn equally to the sea, he became a fisherman — and I, his number one deckhand. Out there, surrounded by endless blue, I learned that “nothing” could be everything. I don’t just see blue; I see all the colours of the rainbow and limitless possibilities.

​

Dad taught me to draw a cube and a turtle — I was hooked. At thirteen, my great-uncle funded formal art lessons, and I’ve never stopped.

 

My work reflects my personal narrative of coastal Western Australia and a belief in the limitless nature of imagination.

​

In a fast-paced world where the value of the arts is often diminished, my work seeks to reaffirm its importance as a transformative force — one that shifts perception and deepens engagement with our environment. I am particularly interested in how creative education and immersive experiences can encourage connection, reflection, and care for the natural world.

 

​Clay has been my lifelong love — from childhood experiments to opening my gallery and ceramics studio three years ago. Working in coloured porcelain, my award-winning pieces reinterpret Western Australia’s coastline — its shipwrecks, fishing heritage, wildflowers, and vast horizons — in bright, maximalist narratives.

Surround yourself with good people — the kind who travel with you beyond imagination.
