My work explores regeneration, adaptation and the relationship between body and landscape.
Working primarily with acrylic painting, my practice is expanding into large-scale mark-making, sculpture, performance and installation. Across these bodies of work, I respond to my personal experience of paraplegia and living with chronic nerve pain.
Grounded is an ongoing body of work investigating my changed relationship with the ground through the physical act of painting.
Using my wheelchair as a mark-making tool, I create tracks, curves, turning circles and points of movement directly onto large surfaces. These marks become the foundation of the work, recording the constant negotiation of living with disability.
The process brings movement, limitation, effort and adaptation into the artwork itself. Painting becomes not simply an image of experience, but a physical consequence of it.
The work is expanding into large-scale painting, performance, video and installation.
The Keeper is a long-form, socially engaged public art project that unfolds in everyday spaces, inviting communities to see their surroundings in new ways.
My project, Turning Circle asked what changes when you move through a familiar place differently? Participants navigated Maroochydore in a wheelchair using a simple map and a series of prompts, then returned to share observations that became part of a growing community archive.
The Keeper extends my practice beyond the studio, using participation and place as materials for making and reflection.
The Keeper is produced by Red Chair in collaboration with Strange Engine. This project is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts and investment advisory body. The Keeper is supported by the Sunshine Coast Council in partnership with the
Queensland Government through the Regional Arts Development Fund.
The Season After Fire explores regeneration through the cycles of the Australian landscape.
Inspired by the banksia and its ability to release seed following fire, the work considers draws parallels between these natural processes and my own experience of rebuilding a life after injury.
The body of work was presented in a solo exhibition at Galley Lane, Coolum in 2026.
The World Anew considers how pain and beauty can coexist.
Drawing from the Australian landscape, the works transform observations of coast and sky through colour, texture and abstraction.
