Hello there! I'm so happy to have you here, and I can't wait to connect with you through my art. Let's dive into what sets my artwork apart and how it can bring something truly special to your home.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
IMAGINE ESCAPING INTO THE FREEDOM OF A SUMMER DAY, WHERE THE FAMILIAR SUBURBAN SETTING WRAPS YOU IN A SUN-DRENCHED DAYDREAM.
Perth born and bred, so it’s no wonder sunshine is what lights me up. I love Western Australia and in particular the coastal suburbs surrounding my local area, Scarborough. As a Scarborough local, I enjoy our lively coastal suburb, and as an artist I am driven to capture and share magically simple moments from our familiar streets and stunning surroundings. Inspired by the essence of place and the everyday movements of family life, my paintings are significantly influenced by the coastal suburbia that surrounds us.
Through vibrant colors, modern composition and an element of movement, my art aims to capture often overlooked moments and infuse them with optimistic anticipation and a touch of nostalgia. Let my art encourage you to notice these moments in your own life, from a bright patch of canvas hanging from one of your walls.
Striving to evoke familiarity, my paintings offer you sun-drenched scenes to stir happy memories of youthful years, holidays spent here or simply a magical everyday moment for you to experience from your very own home.
Infuse your living environment with the vibrant energy and captivating essence of the coast or a suburban scene with a unique piece of art. Let my art become a source of inspiration and a conversation starter, making your space truly special and meaningful.

Beginning a painting is always my favourite part - I love a fresh canvas. With a particular scene in mind I will usually have a strong idea of composition before starting a piece, but then often let intuition guide me which is usually the fun and fast part of the process. Then the painting starts to reveal itself, hinting to me what it needs as I go. Finishing at a slower pace, I enjoy adding layers of detail, and often have quite beautiful ideas revealed to me in the final stages of a painting. When this happens, it seems like the piece comes together by magic, this is very exciting and rewarding for me and somewhat aligns with my aim to capture the intangible magic within our everyday experiences and I hope this resonates with you when viewing my artwork.
