About
Growing up in Australia, surrounded by a vast “bush landscape,” I witnessed how open spaces could be both freeing and confining, echoing the challenges found in bustling cities.
As a sculptor deeply immersed in my artistic journey, I explore the intricate dance of reflection and change, anchored in the intimate connection with materials that give life to my sculptures. My art dives into the concept of landscapes — not just the obvious city or nature setting — but also as the subtle architecture that molds our emotions and perceptions.
My sculptures act as visual stories, inviting viewers to explore diverse human experiences within these landscapes. While abstraction has long guided my artistic expression, my evolving work introduces figurative elements, forming a nuanced emotional discourse.
From small personal works to large commissions, my sculptures vary in scale, employing materials like marble, cast metals, porcelain/ceramics, and wood. This distinct palette weaves simplicity and complexity, connecting viewers to the essence of how we visualize and experience the landscape.
