About
HELLO
I am a Melbourne based artist and curator. I’m interested in making work that encapsulates honesty and truth, and I search for these qualities within our paradoxes. I work predominately with performance documented by photography and film, and incorporate installations when exhibting.
I completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree (majoring in photography) with distinction in 1998, since then I've exhibited extensively and have been selected in numerous prestigious prizes throughout Australia. I have been featured in many publications including The Age, Frankie, Haper's Bazaar, Artist Profile, Art Alamanac and Art Guide. My work has been acquired by Bendigo Art Gallery and private collections in Australia and America.
THIS WILD SONG
Alongside my practice I have also created and curated a long term project called This Wild Song (TWS) which is a series of conceptual photographic portraits of Australian female visual artists who have a unique voice.
TWS celebrates the artists through these portraits plus interviews, exhibitions and events.
We recently exhibited at the Australian High Commission (Singapore) and Town Hall Gallery (Hawthorn) in 2018. I've also released an accompanying podcast about the realities and practicalities of being an artist.
