I studied at Monash University's Caulfield campus and completed a Bachelor of Visual Art in 2004. The following year I opened Prato Gallery in Hampton Street, Hampton displaying my own work and also promoting and displaying the work of local and up and coming artists.

I work mainly in mixed media, layering a range of different materials to create deep and varied texture to my paintings. My paintings are most often inspired by nature, by the line and pattern that can be seen everywhere, in a landscape viewed from a distance or when looked at up close. Textiles also provide inspiration for my work as these contain many different textures and patterns.

It is the process of using all these materials, and putting them together to create a piece of work that feels complete and balanced, that is what I love about my chosen career. My works are an expression of myself at this time. For me, it is important that my art should bring pleasure to the viewer. I strive to create works that capture the beauty of our environment, and sharing this delight in the natural world is what I love about painting.
