Working across photography and painting, I explore how light, movement and deep time shape our experience of the world.
My artistic practice delves into our relationship with the world, particularly the sea and coastal landscapes that continue to draw me back. I am fascinated by the forces that shape the earth—tides, weather and geological time—and by the ways we perceive and experience these shifting environments.
Photography usually forms the starting point for my work, allowing me to gather fleeting moments of light, movement and atmosphere. Increasingly, I integrate photographic imagery into painting, using the dialogue between the two mediums to move beyond straightforward representation. Through this process I explore time and perception: sometimes isolating a single instant, sometimes allowing movement and interval to dissolve into gesture and abstraction.
Much of my practice begins with extended observation—watching changing light on water, the rhythm of tides and the subtle transformations of weather and sea—or simply wandering the landscape and looking, deeply. These encounters inform works that evoke the experience of being in a place rather than simply describing it.
The sea and coast remain enduring sources of inspiration: places where light, motion and deep time meet.
Born in Australia and now based in the UK, I came to art following a career in sustainability and behavioural science. My artistic practice emerged from a lifelong engagement with change — in people, organisations and the environments we inhabit. After many years working internationally in marine sustainability, gender equality, and leadership development, I turned increasingly to creative practice as another way of exploring complexity, transformation and the relationships that shape living systems. My work reflects a deep curiosity about how meaning, pattern and connection emerge over time.
My photographic practice has been shaped by workshops with David Ward, Adrian Beasley and Paul Sanders, and extensive mentorship by Rachael Talibart, while my painting practice has developed through study with Louise Fletcher and Kasia Clarke.
My work is held in private collections in the UK, Europe and Australia.
