My Story

Artistic Journey

As a mixed media artist based in Australia, I find inspiration in the world around me — from the delicate beauty of native birds to the rich cultural traditions expressed through portraiture.

My work combines traditional techniques with contemporary approaches, creating pieces that capture both detail and emotion. Each artwork tells a story, whether it's the vibrant plumage of a fairy wren or the intricate patterns of a traditional kokoshnik.

I work primarily with pastels, charcoal, graphite, and fluid acrylics on canvas and paper — always seeking to bring texture, depth, and life to every piece.
