I was born in Suffolk, England, to an English antique dealer and an Australian cowboy. For the first five years of my life, I travelled the world, living in Australia, America, and Italy. Returning to England for schooling, the art room was my place of solitude and freedom. At sixteen, I attended an arts college, studying media studies, photography, art history, film, and textiles.

At the age of nineteen, I returned to Australia. Over the next ten years, I worked in remote aboriginal communities, running playgroups and artist studios. I curated and worked on arts, culture, and music festivals and worked for community arts organisations and art galleries. Later, I performed and went on tour with musicians as their tour photographer. All the while, I created and exhibited multiple bodies of work. I studied various artistic practices, such as sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, weaving and photography, while being mentored by working professionals in the field.

​

At twenty-nine, I returned to the UK, studying a masters in illustration and book arts at The Cambridge School of Art, which I achieved with distinction honours. I am currently based in the mediaeval village of Lavenham, Suffolk, UK.

The wind has blown me in many directions. I've followed dreams into reality. I've explored the un-known and re-acquainted with the familiar. I’ve bathed in cool waters, played with fire, got lost in the nights sky and sung with the sky larks. I've learnt that there is endless wisdom to share when you dedicate time to sit down and listen. I've come to realise the vast, endless ocean that lies within us all. I’ve felt the wind beneath my wings. I've witnessed heaven on earth and endured suffering. I've accepted the paradox and yet still feel confused at times. I've returned to my breath. I've flown my freak flag high. I’ve witnessed artists lift up crowds like shiny glitter balls emanating light. I've been inspired by individuals who ‘hold their own’ from a place of truth, standing strong like oak trees. I've learnt that true self confidence comes from within and that the strongest strength is soft like cashmere and patient like water. I've debated with fine academics and street philosophers. I've experienced great love and boundless beauty. I've felt great suffering and shame, to which I’m not alone. I've learnt to trust. I'm still learning. I’ve committed my life to curiosity and creativity. I've achieved the flow state and I've worked through the blockages. I’ve brought creativity out in the most unlikely of people. In turn they taught me many things such as; judgement only limits oneself. I've learnt that I have many layers and many parts of me that all have their place at my table. I've returned to my breath. I've learnt that by accepting help and taking the olive branch from someone you trust has powers beyond measure. I've laughed until my sides split and tears have rolled down my cheeks. I've felt ecstasy and turmoil. I've returned to my breath. I've tried and failed numerous times. I've shed, renewed and cleansed. I’ve started again and again. I've been spellbound by the kindness of strangers and witnessed sunrises that are so stunning that my heart could burst into a million golden stars. I’m full of passion and welcome patience, softness, and tenderness with compassion. I've embraced vulnerability and acknowledged that sensitivity is a super power not to be underestimated. I love to learn. I will always be learning. Always evolving. Always returning.
