In the mid to late nineties I trained as a painter at the Queensland College of Art. During my creative life I have expanded my practice to large-scale installation, environmental works, curatorial roles and teaching. I spent blocks of time in 2006 /07/ 08 /09 in Beijing as an assistant to the project manager at Red Gate Gallery. The role involved assisting in a curatorial context and networking with artists and financial backers. Financial assistance was secured through DFAT, Australia China Council, the Australian Embassy Beijing and Red Gate Gallery. I extended the role by becoming an Artist in Residence in Taiwan and negotiating exhibitions with the Taipei Arts University and facilitating travelling exhibitions to and from Australia.

In 2017, I commenced full time doctoral studies at the Queensland College of Art completing my DVA in November 2021. I returned to painting as my medium and I feel that the history of painting adds to the intrigue and challenge of producing meaningful work in the age of the Anthropocene.

Technology and global discussions are strong influences on my work with a focus on the landscape and environmental genre as the biggest concern of this time. My process is to collect and collate images from popular culture including the internet and social media. Resulting works engage narratives and images of our time that are inspired by multiple influences from the past and present. The cause and effects of climate change and the sustainability of the planet feature in the works albeit often in an abstract or mysterious way.
