The Artist

I live with my family on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. I’m 29 yrs old.

I was born with a rare neurological disorder. Along with other side effects this disorder has resulted in me only having limited fine motor skills. Despite this I haven’t let it stop me from participating in my favourite pastime - creating art.

Art is a huge part of my life. I have different art based activities which I engage in around the challenges of my disability and has resulted in my family and I having to come up with creative ways to work around these challenges.  Being told something would be too hard for me makes me more determined to try and experience new things.

I also love travelling and have been to many different countries, living for extended periods in Europe. I love the diversity of nature through out the world. It’s beautiful.

Artist Statement

I like my happy disposition to shine through my art.

I work in different mediums: paint, ceramics and paper making.

This variety allows me to use different skills and develop myself creatively which brings me personal  satisfaction.

Bright colours, love hearts, flowers and nature themes feature strongly in my portfolio.

It gives me joy to see others appreciating my art and being happy.
