ARTIST STATEMENT

As an artist, I am deeply inspired by the natural beauty and complexity of the world around us. My work seeks to explore the connections between humanity and the environment, using a range of natural found elements from the earth and bushfire-harvested charcoal to create intricate, textured pieces that speak to the richness of the natural world. I believe that art has the power to transform how we see the world and our place within it, and my work is a reflection of this belief. I am drawn to the unique qualities of each element I use, and seek to incorporate these natural textures and patterns into my pieces, creating a sense of depth and complexity that invites the viewer to engage with the work on multiple levels.


My work is also deeply influenced by the process of creation, and I am constantly experimenting with new techniques and materials to push the boundaries of what is possible in my art. Whether working with acrylics or exploring the unique properties of bushfire-harvested charcoal, I am always seeking new ways to express my vision and connect with my audience.


As an artist, my work is grounded in a deep respect and understanding of the land and the people who have called it home for thousands of years. I am committed to exploring and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of First Nations peoples, while also stepping softly on country and doing my part to protect the natural world that
inspires my art. Using a range of natural found elements from the earth and bushfire-harvested charcoal, along with acrylics and bespoke cold-pressed paper, I seek to create textured, layered pieces that speak to the complexity and beauty of the world around us. Through my work, I strive to connect with the land and its people in a way that is respectful, mindful, and deeply meaningful.


I draw on First Nations perspectives and cultural practices to inform my artistic vision, incorporating a feeling of connection to place into my work in a way that honours and celebrates this rich cultural heritage. At the same time, I am committed to engaging with contemporary issues facing our planet, such as climate change and
environmental degradation, and using my art to inspire others to take action and make a difference.


Ultimately, my goal is to create art that not only speaks to the beauty and complexity of the natural world, but also honours and celebrates the cultures and traditions of the First Nations peoples who have lived in harmony with this land for generations. My hope is that my work will inspire others to see the world around us with fresh eyes,
to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the natural world, and to engage with the challenges facing our planet in a thoughtful and meaningful way.
