The Artist

I was diagnosed in 2005 when i was 19.  Since then i refuse to let it stop me from living a full and rewarding life. I am married to Lachlan and the two other loves of my life are my children.  i fight to get people to understand that i. am still able to live and do things despite my disability and my wheelchair. My aim is to educate people and reach as many of them as i can.

I attend weekly art classes and have hundreds of project to complete, often adding to my list with each new idea.

I love to surf with the aid of my husband, and this year i finally reached my goal of standing up on a board.

I regularly rock climb and in certain months of the year with help i abseil down waterfalls in the otways.

I am a professional musician, having produced my own originally composed double album called Release me. I am currently working on my second album.

Artist Statement

My most vivid dreams that make me wake up feeling revived are the dreams where i am at the beach running on the sand and finding shells to collect.

I grew up wth my Nanna being creative with her own artwork, pastel drawings and fabric painting. It inspired me to want to create my own master pieces across many mediums
